Understanding Contact Windows

When you open a contact entry, Outlook launches a contact window. This window contains fields for entering or reviewing information about a contact, such as Full Name, Job Title, E-mail, and so on.

Office Button

This button provides access to oft-used commands, such as Save, Delete, Print, and more.

Quick Access Toolbar

Like the Office button, the Quick Access toolbar offers access to frequently used commands. You can customize this toolbar, removing commands that appear there by default and adding others you use more often.

Ribbon

In lieu of the traditional menus and toolbars, message windows feature the Ribbon — that is, a tabbed area in which commands are organized in logical groups.

Name

The contact’s name, company, and job title can be entered or located here.

Internet

The contact’s e-mail address, Web page address, and IM address can be entered or located here.

Phone Numbers

The contact’s phone numbers can be entered or located here.

Addresses

The contact’s addresses can be entered or located here.

Business Card

An electronic “business card” containing information you enter about the contact appears here.

Notes

Read or enter notes about the contact.
