I use Outlook 2002 that came with my iPAC rx3115. I use it for contacts and
calendar and not for email. Outlook 2002 allows me to highlight a contact
and go to Edit menu and click copy and the entire contents of that contact
are put into Clipboard. I can then paste the contact information into MS
Notepad, an email, etc. and edit it from there. I like and need the
quickness of this feature. This is a very important feature for me I use
often. I want to upgrade to Outlook 2007. Did Outlook 2007 retain this
feature? In Outlook 2007 can I quickly copy the entire contents of a
contact from Edit menu-Copy into Clipboard just like Outlook 2002?



The reason I asked is that Outlook Express had this feature and was easier
to do than Outlook 2002. When I purchased my Vista box, Outlook Express was
discontinued and I use Windows Mail in Vista. Windows Mail in Vista does
not have this feature. To do it in Windows Mail I would have to Copy &
Paste field by field. Argg! So I just use Outlook 2002 for this and it is
okay. If Outlook 2007 discontinued this feature that was in Outlook 2002, I
will have to look for other tools to copy contact information to Clipboard.



Background info: I have a AMD 4400+ 64X2 4GB memory 320GB HD(way bigger than
I need) Acer computer (AM3100-U3201A) I purchased new February 2008 running
32-bit MS Vista Home Premium SP2 box. I use MS auto updates. I think it
has onboard shared memory for video and sound. My ISP is Comcast 12mbps
with Motorola SURFboard SB5101 Cable Modem direct to computer. No other
switches or routers or wireless or phone line or any other networking
hardware hooked up to this computer.

Thanks for the help!
