How do I link calendar appt to a reg (not BCM) contact in Outlook

[Sheltonyan]

I am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (Beta) (12.0.4017.1006) MSO
(12.0.4017.1003) BETA Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 (Beta).
In the past when using Outlook 2003, I have been able to link any item:
tasks, calendar appointments, journals to a regular contact by using the drop
down "Edit" menu, then selecting the submenu, Options. The Options submenu
opened with a window allowing me to not only categorize but link the item
(journal, calendar appointment, event or meeting, e-mail to any one or
multiple contacts within Outlook (I'm not talking about the Business Contact
Manager portion). How can I accomplish this in Outlook 2007 (Beta)? What is
the path to bring this about?

tools | options | Contact Options | check the box for Show Contact activity
on all forms.

Now when you make an appointment the Contact window will appear and you can
link to a Contact.
