We recently upgraded to Outlook 2007. In the previous version, you could
create a new email, click on TO: and select your recipients. If a recipient
was not a contact, you could click advanced, new and add a new contact. That
option doesn't seem to be available. Did Microsoft remove this option? If
so, is there a work around?

Thanks,

Not removed. Never existed. The Outlook Address Book view has never been the
correct interface for adding or editing Contact data. You should only do
that in Contacts Folder or from the context menu by R clicking a resolved
address.

One way is to use the Office Button in the upper left. Click on it, and
there's an option to create a new contact. You can also add New Contact to
the mini-bar to the right of that if you want.

Maybe you don't understand exactly where I am talking about, because I can
definitely do it.

Thanks. I did think about that but this is for my boss so I wanted to see if
there was something close to the old way before I told him about this option.

That does not mean you should, and you shouldn't. The Address Book interface
has never been intended for adding and editing data. If you do, you will
eventually regret it when you lose the data.
