Having immediate access to current, accurate contact information for the people you need to interact with-by e-mail, telephone, mail, or otherwise-is important for timely and effective communication. You can easily build and maintain a detailed contact list, or address book, in the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Contacts module. From your address book, you can look up information, generate messages, and share contact information with other people. You can also keep track of your interactions with a person whose contact information is stored in Outlook.

In this chapter, you will investigate the command structure in the Outlook contact window, create contact records, and organize your contacts by using color categories. You will create a distribution list and an address book, and personalize your own electronic business card. Next, you will display different views of contact information and filter and find contacts by using the new Instant Search feature. Then you will print a contact record and an address list.
