Tip #3121 - Need More Data?

Need
More Data?
Are you an MS Outlook user
who often finds yourself wishing for more Contact fields? That is, maybe
you're looking to enter data that has no "pre-made" location?
Frustrating, isn't
it?
What do you do?
I mean, you want the data recorded
for future use, but where?
Let's face it. If
you "slide" it into another field just to have a record of the
information, you could easily forget where you put it. (Sort of like my
car keys. I'm always putting them some place where "I won't lose
them." Yeah, right!)
So, here's a way to
put a "key hook on the wall" and make a place for all your Contact
data, so you don't accidentally misplace it.
To begin, you need
to open a Contact.
Next, you're looking
for the All Fields tab.
In the bottom left
corner, you'll find the New button. Click it.
The New Field window
will open and this is where you can enter a name and choose a data type
for the field.
Once everything is
set, click OK.
When you're returned
to the Contact window, you'll notice the new field is now listed in the
All Fields tab.
You can enter your
data to the right of the field name.
If you need to remove
a field from the list, select it and click the Delete
button at the bottom.
Data where you won't
lose it. Who would have thought?!
Now, if only I could
get that kind of organization with all the other stuff I keep misplacing!
