MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008Adding Contacts to a Journal Entry
How do I add several contacts to an already created Journal entry. In Outlook 2003 there is a contact line at the bottom of the Journal entry. It seems absent in 2007. By design. You can still add it in Tools > Options > Preferences > Contact options: Do you see "Show Contact Linking on all Forms?" If so, select it.

What about adding a Journal entry to an open contact? In 2003 you could choose "Make Journal Entry". I'm not willing to make most of my contacts automatic journal entries, but would still like the feature that creates a journal entry for the contact I am looking at. > Probably because many of its functions have been supplanted by Activities. > > Excellent!

I've never used it and have never turned journaling on. but it would not surprise me if it had been removed from the new Contact Form in from Outlook 2007. The Journal feature has been deprecated.

Russ - Journaling has become one of the most important features for me in Outlook to track and recall my activities during the day. Microsoft should enhance journaling functionality. Microsoft, you have my phone number - feel free to contact me. Many years ago, as I recall, I ran into one of your Outlook product mgrs at COMDEX and made some comments not too long after which Outlook improved significantly. While I like to think I helped play a role in this, more important to me is that MS is hearing what I am sharing. > I've never used it and have never turned journaling on. but it would not > surprise me if it had been removed from the new Contact Form in from Outlook [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >> >> > seems > >> >> > absent in 2007. Explain what Journaling does for you that you cannot do with Activities.

To do this open any contact and click the little down arrow at the very top of the window. Then choose "More Commands..." Click "All Commands" from the "Choose commands from:" drop-down selection Scroll all the way down to "New Journal Entry for Contact" and click the "Add>>" button. Click OK. Now it will be in your Quick Access Bar on any contact that you open. --Marty > What about adding a Journal entry to an open contact? In 2003 you could > choose "Make Journal Entry".
