Adding Contacts to a Journal Entry

[Guest]

How do I add several contacts to an already created Journal entry. In Outlook
2003 there is a contact line at the bottom of the Journal entry. It seems
absent in 2007.

By design. You can still add it in Tools > Options > Preferences > Contact
options:
Do you see "Show Contact Linking on all Forms?"
If so, select it.

Excellent! Thank you very much. I had tried everything I could think of.
Journal is completely under appreciated and supported as far as I am
concerned.

Probably because many of its functions have been supplanted by Activities.

What about adding a Journal entry to an open contact? In 2003 you could
choose "Make Journal Entry". I'm not willing to make most of my contacts
automatic journal entries, but would still like the feature that creates a
journal entry for the contact I am looking at.

I've never used it and have never turned journaling on. but it would not
surprise me if it had been removed from the new Contact Form in from Outlook
2007. The Journal feature has been deprecated.

I did this by adding the "New Journal Entry for Contact" action to the Quick
Access Bar.

To do this open any contact and click the little down arrow at the very top
of the window.

Then choose "More Commands..."
Click "All Commands" from the "Choose commands from:" drop-down selection
Scroll all the way down to "New Journal Entry for Contact" and click the
"Add>>" button.
Click OK.

Now it will be in your Quick Access Bar on any contact that you open.

Russ - Journaling has become one of the most important features for me in
Outlook to track and recall my activities during the day. Microsoft should
enhance journaling functionality. Microsoft, you have my phone number - feel
free to contact me. Many years ago, as I recall, I ran into one of your
Outlook product mgrs at COMDEX and made some comments not too long after
which Outlook improved significantly. While I like to think I helped play a
role in this, more important to me is that MS is hearing what I am sharing.

I've never used it and have never turned journaling on. but it would not
surprise me if it had been removed from the new Contact Form in from Outlook

Explain what Journaling does for you that you cannot do with Activities.

Hi Russ,

I have a similar but different problem. I've been using Journal as a phone
log & I get a lot of calls (I'm a Volunteer Manager) from people NOT in my
contacts. I used to be able to just put their names in the contact field (&
not saving it in my contacts) & I can't do that anymore. I don't think your
solution would work in my case. What can I do, or, if you don't think Journal
is the right tool to use as a phone log, can you suggest what I can use
instead?

Thanks, Susan

Are you getting any errors when you try? if you enable the Contact linking
field, it should work just like it did in outlook 2003.

The using journal is the best way to do what you need to do inside outlook.
