What you are seeing in that image opposite the blue legend of phone
numbers is the drop-down list box of the choices for the "File as:"
field. It truly has nothing to do with phone numbers or possible choices
for them and will not appear in the design mode unless you expand the
properties of the "File as:" field.

What Sue is trying to tell you, when she says "but if you modify the
first page of the contact form, the design will be significantly
different from the unmodified standard form", is that, if you make any
custom changes to the first page of the contact form, you are likely to
break the automatic formatting of some of fields. The first to break is
phone field formatting. Less likely is web urls, and time formatting can
also go. My standard advice for custom form design is to put all your
customization on an empty back page of the form and then hide the
standard pages if you want your page to be the first thing the user sees.

But, you mis-interpreted that image from the page you quoted, and need to
re-think what you are trying to create.

Interestingly, if you are in the contact's design mode, I do not see the
Phone Numbers header. But, when you create the new contact from your
outlook, you can see the all phones field (such as business, home...)
group together with Phone Numbers header. I do not know how to make
Phone Numbers header to appear in the contact even if I do not see it in
the design mode?"

What you need to realize is that there is private code and private
variables what run to make the Outlook Contact Inspector appear as it
does. You cannot change those features. The Phone Numbers header is one
of those run-time features that you can not control or bring into the
design mode workbench. Microsoft lets you change many features in an
outlook form, but not the basic structure that ensures that Outlook will
always be able to bring it up in the familiar format.
