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 fact it, if you "slide" it into another field just to have a record of the information you could easily forget where you put it. (Sorta like my car keys... I'm always putting them someplace 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 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 then select it and click the Delete button at the bottom.

Data where you won't lose it.

Now if only I could get that kind of organization with all the other stuff I keep misplacing.
