I would like to print contacts in a way that's not defined in the contact print styles.  The standard options in Outlook 2002 are card style, small booklet style, medium booklet style, etc.  Is there any way to create another print style or modify and existing print style?  I know I can make some modifications in the setup for each print style but I want to make more changes than the setup will allow.

Thanks!

The modifications that you can see in the Print dialog are the ones
available. If you want others, consider doing a mail merge with Word and
handling the formatting there.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm open to doing an export to Excel or Word but my custom fields don't export.  I only get the standard fields so I figured I had to do my formatting of a print style within Outlook.  Am I missing something?

Thanks again!

The newsgroup interface you are using apparently does not quote earlier
messages in the thread, making your latest message so short on detail that
you risk not getting the answer you're looking form. Please take the time to
quote the original message.

Why export? Use a mail merge. Start it from Outlook and you'll get all
custom fields defined in the source folder.
