Contacts > Create a New Contact
You can create a contact to store the information about people you communicate with, including their e-mail address, street address, telephone numbers, and other information.
How do I create a contact?
- In Contacts, on the toolbar, click
New Contact.
- On the new contact page, type the information you want to include for the contact.
You can use the drop-down lists to record multiple entries in some boxes. For example, the drop-down list next to E-mail lets you store up to three different e-mail addresses for a contact (E-mail, E-mail 2, and E-mail 3). You can also store more than one address and telephone number. - If you've more than one address stored for a contact, you can designate one as the contact's mailing address. Select the address from the drop-down list, and then select the This is the mailing address check box at the bottom of the page.
- Click
Save and Close to save the new contact. Click Cancel if you want to discard your changes.
Use the File as list to determine how the contact will appear in Contacts. You can display each contact by first and last name, by last name first, or by company name.
