Keeping Picture Control on Default Contact From

[Chaplain Doug]

Outlook 2003. I notice that when I edit the default contact form, it removes
the picture control from the "General" tab. I realize that if I do not
change the "General" tab, then the picture control is still there when
published. However, I want to change the "General" tab. How may I put back
the picture control on the "General" tab? Thanks and God bless.

You lose all kinds of special formatting when you edit the General Tab, Don't
do it. If you want some part of it, put it on a back tab and hide the General
Tab. Although Office/Outlook is sometimes touted as being infinitely malleable,
in some cases, it isn't cost effective to try and do many things on it.

Dear Hollis:

I would also like to modify the "Details" tab (adding a field), but I cannot
edit the "Details" tab at all. How may I edit the "Details" tab? Also, how
could I rename all these other funky tabs that come up (like "P.2" and
"P.3")? You mentioned "hiding" the "General" tab. How do I hide a tab?
Thanks a lot for the help!

It would appear that the details tab is locked down even tighter than the
General Tab. I couldn't get the cursor to move out of the fields they had on
the tab. I don't think they want you mucking around on that tab, either.

The design setup has a menu bar. You should investigate it. Specifically,
click the Form menu and hover there long enough to get full extension. When it
is all there, the first option is to Show this Page. Click it and the
check-mark disappears, or the label changes to Hide this page. The second
option is to rename the tab. But you should go ahead and try all the options
to see what they do, or at least, check the help for each specific option.

There may be an unlock somewhere for the Details Tab, but I didn't find it in
the quick look I took on the tab.
