MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007OL2007: Create new journal entry for contact
Under the heading "Record the date and time you worked with a contact," OL help says: ---------- 1. Open the contact. 2. On the Actions menu, click Create, and then click New Journal Entry for Contact. 3. Select the options that you want. The Journal item records the date and the length of time that you worked with the contact. ----------- However, in my installation, the actions menu (in the ribbon on the contact form) does not have a "Create" item. Is there a way to make it appear? I can create a new journal entry for a contact from the actions menu in the contacts folder view, but having this function available in the contact form seems more intuitive to me. JimJ Skip step 1. That only works in the contacts folder view, not in an open contact. As you might have noticed, an open contact uses the ribbon and has no Actions menu.

You think Angela is the right one for that?

That does what I need. Too bad one can't edit the ribbon that easily. The icon for "New Journal Entry for Contact" is a plain round ball. I'm not sure I'll remember what that is for. You can't edit the icons like you could in the toolbar of the previous version.
