MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2005How do I create a new Field name in contacts?
I want to customize the field name in Contacts rather than use the generic "business phone 2", as well as be able to add more than 4 available numbers. Can this be done? You cannot change the names of the built-in phone number fields in the phoine field list.

Thank you for your response. Is it possible to create a new for the phone number fields? If not are there any recommendations you could make?

No, you cannot create a new phone number field that behaves like the 16 built-in ones.

Hey Sue, Since you are the Oulook/Exchange queen, and have the ear of Microsoft. Why don't you get them to add/modify a field in the phone list for "Tech Support" for all of us computer geeks :) > You cannot change the names of the built-in phone number fields in the phoine field list. > > >I want to customize the field name in Contacts rather than use the generic > > "business phone 2", as well as be able to add more than 4 available numbers. > > Can this be done? Why not ask them yourself? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;114491 SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > Hey Sue, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> > "business phone 2", as well as be able to add more than 4 available numbers. >> > Can this be done? Consider it done. I just figured that YOU would have all kinds of "pull" with the folks at Microsoft in the Outlook/Exchange arena. Thanks for the link. I fired off an email right away. We'll see. > Why not ask them yourself? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;114491 > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> > "business phone 2", as well as be able to add more than 4 available numbers. > >> > Can this be done?

I was hoping that it was possible to edit field names. In the Brazilian Portuguese version I use the field names are far too long and lots of empty space is left in the windows. Hope MS will change that in a near future! > You cannot change the names of the built-in phone number fields in the phoine field list. > > >I want to customize the field name in Contacts rather than use the generic > > "business phone 2", as well as be able to add more than 4 available numbers. > > Can this be done? |
