To toggle the option for separate layouts, use the Separate Read Layout
command on the menu.

No. There is no way to bind a control to two separate fields. A control can
be bound to only one field on the Value tab of the control's Properties
dialog.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're trying to describe. It might help
if you used correct terminology. A text box is not a field. It is a control.
It can be bound to an Outlook property/field (those two terms are synonyms
here) and display the data in that field. Or it can be unbound and display
what the user types in or what the form's code sets as the Value property
for the control.
