MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006copy a record to another folder
I am trying to organize contacts into one overall folder with subfolders for different locations so I can search alphabetically in the overall folder if I can't recall the subgroup to which I have the record. I thought I could do this by entering records in the overall folder then using copy/paste to get it to a subfolder. I seem to be able to copy, but when I go to paste, the paste function is disabled. What am I missing here? Clarify what you want to do. Are you trying to create an identical Contact Record in both the main folder and the subfolder? If not, then why don't you just create the Contact in the folder where you want to keep it?

That is exactly what I am trying to do. Whereas it might not make much sense, it is something I have to do to keep the peace in a family business where my husband can't always remember the name but he can usually remember where he worked when met them. I have figured out a convoluted way. Right now I am entering all new records in a subfolder "additions", copying the entire folder (additions 1) and drag/dropping records from one to the big folder and from the other to the subfolders. But I still don't know why copy/paste won't work for individual records. > Clarify what you want to do.

There should be no "Copy/Paste" command. Outlook uses the "Copy to Folder..." command to do what you want. You can always drag and drop, too.
