Outlook creates a business card for each contact based on a default template. As you can see in Figure 29-22, this template includes name, company, title, phone numbers, e-mail and postal addresses, and a photo (assuming that these elements are part of the contact).

FIGURE 29-22
The default business card template includes the information needed most often.

To edit the business card for a contact, click the Business Card button on the Contact tab of the Ribbon. Outlook opens the Edit Business Card dialog box, shown in Figure 29-23. The top-left section of this dialog box previews how the business card will look with your edits. The topright section defines the overall layout of the card:

• Layout: Specifies the image location. You can also omit the image or use it as the card background.
• Background: Lets you select a background color for the card.
• Image: Lets you specify a different image when you click the Change button.
• Image Area: Determines how much of the card is occupied by the image. The maximum is 50 percent.
• Image Align: Determines how the image is positioned within the image area.

Editing the business card for an individual contact.

The lower-left section of the Edit Business Card dialog box lets you specify the data fields that are included on the card and their order. You can do the following:

• Click Add and then select from the menu to add a field to the card.
• Click Remove to remove the selected field from the card.
• Click the up or down arrow to change the position of the selected field.

The lower-right section of this dialog box is for text formatting. When a field is selected in the Fields list, use the tools here to do the following:

• Increase or decrease font size
• Make font bold, italic, or underlined
• Align text left, center, or right
• Change font color

Oddly enough, you cannot change the font used on a business card; you can change only its size. The Label section lets you add a label to any data field. You can specify the text of the label, its color, and whether it is displayed to the left or right of the item.

Click the Reset Card button to undo any edits you have made and return the card to the default appearance. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.
