Changing format of all contact records - 15 Mar 2006 11:29 GMT
I would like all my contacts to be returned to the orignal format in which
all my comments were shown as full width of the lower part of the CONTACT
Page, rather than on the right hand half of the CONTACT page.
I find the new format much more difficult to read.
I have managed to change it for an individual contact record but can not see
how to apply it to the hundreds of cantacts that I have.
Please advise what I am doing wrong, or can this not be done ?
Thanbks
Phil

Explain what you mean. There was no change in Contact format in Outlook
2003.
Most likely you changed your view. To what view are you referring?

Actually, there was: The addition of the picture made the notes box smaller. The solution is to create a custom contact form, making any change at all on the main page, then make that the default form for contacts. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

Good one. You were able to equate "all my comments" with the Notes field.
Clairvoyance is a such a blessing. Why won't it work with our kids?
