Adding a new contact group

By default, an address book is not subdivided. As the number of contacts grows, you may find it useful to define groups to organize contacts in a way that makes them easier to find and use. You might have Work, Personal, and Family groups, for example. To define a group, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that Contacts is selected in the Navigation pane.
  2. At the bottom of the Current View list, click the Add New Group link. Outlook adds a group called New Group under My Contacts (Figure 29-2).
  3. Type in the group name and press Enter.
  4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as needed to create more groups.

Figure 29-3 shows how the Navigation pane looks after you create three new groups.

After you have created one or more additional groups, you can simply drag a contact from its current group to the group that you want it in. For example, Figure 29-4 shows how you would move Wanda Jackson from the Contacts group to the Personal Contacts group. If you want a given contact to be in more than one group, follow these steps:

  1. Select the contact.
  2. Press Ctrl+C to copy the contact to the Clipboard.
  3. Display the destination group.
  4. Press Ctrl+V to paste the contact.
