how do you change the names of fileds in outlook?

[Lia G]

I am trying to creaet a global contacts list by combining multiple employee's
contact lists. I would like to edit the fields labeled "user 1,2,3, and 4".
How do I do that?

 

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

Question is too vague. Where are you trying to do this? What precisely are
you trying to do?

Additionally to Russ, you cannot change the names of existing fields. But
you may create a new field and name it like you want.

I've created a new field but can't get it to show (using Outlook 2002). The
instructions on the Help screen do not work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I can only guess, where you want to show the fields, and what instructions
didn't work.

To show a field in the folder view, rigth click on the column headers,
select field chooser, then select Userdefined folder fields from the
dropdown list, and drag the field you have created to the column position
where you want to show the field.

Sorry - I want it to show in the Address Card view and on the screen when I
create a new contact. The instructions that did not work are:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADD THE NEW FIELD TO ADDRESS CARDS VIEW
On the VIEW menu, point to Current View then click Address Cards.
On the View menu, point to Current View and then click Customize CUrrent View.
Click Fields.
In the Select Available Fields From box, click User Defined FIelds in Folder.
Click the custom field you created and click Add.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the instructions found in the Outlook Help screen.

So the question remains, how do I make the field show in address card view,
and when I create a new contact?

For the address card view I cannot help. I don't have XP running and can't
reproduce the behaviour.

If you want to see the new field when creating a new contact, you need to
customize the formular: Click Tools/Formulars/Create a formular, then choose
the contact formular.

From the field chooser select the user-defined field and drag it to the
formular. if you're done, click Tools/Formulars/Publish form...
