Removing "click here to add a new contact" line

[David Yowell]

When I open up my contacts in Outlook there is a row just beneath the fields line that says "click here to add a new contact". I find this very disturbing and would like to remove it. Can someone please tell me how to do this. I have racked my brain and cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance for the help.

There's no no way to do that. Describing as "disturbing" a line that
appears in all tables in Outlook...??? Maybe that attitude is something you
can change or else just ignore it. It does no harm and many people even use
it.

Thanks Roady.

I have been looking to get rid of that text box for ages. David Yowell is right, it is disturbing.

Not sure what Judy has been smoking !

Thanks Roady,

Totally agree that the box is disturbing...tired of going through and deleting blank contacts I did not mean to create. Your solution worked for me in Outlook 2010...Thank you, Thank you!

The only thing disturbing thing here is your attitude Judy...Didn't your mama teach you to say nothing unless you have something nice to say.
