is there a way to create a letter from a contact in Outlook 2007? Used to do
in 2003.

When I try sending an outgoing email to a list, the name checker won't allow
it without manually adding every name to the contacts file. I have tried
turning off the "name checker", but no luck yet.

I have customers that have 3 or more addresses and I would like suggestions
on how to save all the addresses under one name.

Contact information in our Public Folders is organized by assigning
categories to individual contacts.

I would like to export contact information for the members of 1 category to
excel. I can view by category in outlook, but is there a way for me to
export the data to excel?

After using Windows Easy Transfer to migrate my data, I noticed that my
contacts are missing when I click the To, Cc, or Bcc buttons.

I can see the contacts when I click on the Contacts section button in
Outlook 2007.

These articles seem to have helped to a point:

Outlook 2007 in Vista Does Not Display Contacts in To: Box

Contact information does not appear in the address book in Outlook

Contacts are missing when I click the To, Cc, or Bcc buttons

Because "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" was grayed out, I
followed the steps under "Reset Outlook Address Book settings".

In step 2, under "Name", "Outlook Address Book" appears so I followed that
part of the instructions.

Step 4 of this fork says "Under Show this address list first, click
Contacts."

Unfortunately I cannot do this because the drop-down for "Show this address
list first" is not populated.

I want to add the date on which I enter a new contact. Can this be done by
customizing the contact form? If so, How?

At the bottom of the left column of the main window of O2007 there are
buttons for the main parts of Outlook (e.g. E-mail, Calendar, Contacts,
Folderlist). When you choose Contacts, you get a non-structured listing of
all Contacts folders, whereas in the (complete) Folder List those folders of
Contacts are shown in their structure (tree).

Is there a way to get this folder structure listed under mainpart Contacts
as well?

Thanks in advance.

How do I temporarily delete a contact from e-mail list while he is on vacation?

We use desktops in the office and laptops travelling or in field offices.

All our systems are Dell with Vista Basic and Outlook 2007.
What do you suggest how best to use Outlook between desktop & laptop
systems?

At this time, we ask our people to use desktop systems in their offices.
Before they travel or go to field offices, they should export their Outlook
"personal folder" to a backup.pst file. Copy this backup.pst file to a flash
stick, and import this backup.pst file into their laptop Outlook. After they
return from field, they should reverse the process from laptop to desktop.

They should never use their laptop Outlook while in their office.
They should never use their desktop Outlook while in the field.

Do you think this is good standard office practice? Any suggestions?

I have a new computer that runs Vista. My smartphone(cingular 3125) uses
active sync 4.2 - that is not compatible with Vista (only up to XP) how can I
get my contacts from my phone into my laptop outlook? My old laptop is no
loinger available to export and save a .pst file.
