As you've seen, it really depends on what you want to do -- print lists, print individual items, print formatted phone directories. Lots of solutions are available.

Hello Sue,

Another option here, that may useful to other users reading this thread, is
to note that the user does not have to customize the print style or template
in order to print additional fields that do not print by default. Part of
our problem is that we initially failed to recognize that the user actually
can print other contact information simply by customizing the current
contact form under VIEW CURRENT VIEW CUSTOMIZE CURRENT VIEW. While this
does not allow the user to modify the print styles, it does allow the user
to print the desired information. This option also allows the user to save
the customized form as a display style for easy access in the future.

Thanks

Outlook print templates don't have the customization options that you are
undoubtedly looking for. You can save the merge document for future use.

Thank you, Sue. This looks like a viable option, but isn't there a way to
create a form or template without going through Microsoft Word? We would
like to customize a print template that would be permanently available
from
within Outlook, if possible. Where do the current print templates reside
(Card Style, Booklet Style, Memo Style, Phone Directory Style, etcetera)?
Can these styles or templates be copied and modified for custom use?

Mail merge to Word -- start with the Tools | Mail Merge command in any
Outlook contacts folder.

How can we create a custom print style, template, or form for printing
Outlook 2007 contact information. The print dialog supplies several
standard styles from cards to phone directories, but none of the standard
styles print the exact information we need. Can we customize the
printout
to include the format and contact fields we want printed? If so, how do
we
do this? Is the printout based on a form, template, or style? Outlook
help
searches have not enlightened us any on the subject.
