new contact based on existing contact

[Bob Day]

Have Office 07 enterprise on XP…

In Outlook 03 BCM, there was a menu command to make a new contact based on
the open contact which essentially populated many of the fields and you
entered the rest (like for adding a new person at the same company).

I cannot figure out how to do that in Outlook 07 BCM. I use only BCM
contacts. Any ideas?

Thanks

G'day Bob

In 2007, open a Contact and in the top left corner (almost) is Save and New
with a tiny drop down arrow at the edge. That's where New Contact from Same
Company is tucked away.

I don't have BCM running but hope for you it's the same as Outlook without
BCM

You might want to repost this to microsoft.public.outlook.bcm as that is
where the heavy users of the business contact manager hang out and can
probably provide a faster and more expert answer.

In contacts, that option is there. In BCM that option is there for accounts
(i.e. a company name) but not for contacts attached to an account. Odd.

I will repost to BCM group
Thanks
