Default Making custom form default for contacts

Hello:

I am a beginner with Outlook. I am a new hire in a department that uses
Outlook contact information in a Word Mail Merge process. I am teaching
myself how this all works, and have been doing ok, but I am struggling with
forms, particularly the form used for contacts. I don't have any problems
modifying the form (for example to add FirstName and LastName fields), but I
am very confused about how to get Outlook to use my modified form instead of
the default custom contacts form.

It seems to me that this should be a simple property setting, but I've had
no luck tinkering with the various menu options. I've seen post suggesting
registry changes are needed. Is it really this complicated to make my form
the default? Any links to a tutorial on how to do this? Thanks!
