I am using contacts in outlook 2007 for my personal contacts (and business
contact manager for buisness ones). The default business card in outlook
includes company, jod title etc which is not relevant for my personal
contcats. I have worked out how to change individual cards but is it
possible to change the default - or to change the layout of the business
cards for all contacts at once (and all future contacts)?

Thanks

Unfortunately No.

Yes, you can change the layout for future business cards. It involves changing the contact template.
Open a blank contact,make the changes you would like in the actual business card, publish the form. in the contact folder properties select your form as the default form to use. All new contacts business cards should be with your new format. I'm looking on how to change existing cards.

in the business card not in the actual contact.

change the message class used by the old ones to the new message class.

Do this with docmessageclass -
