I set up a custom form for individual contact entry and attached it to the
contacts folder in properties. Now when I enter a new contact it uses this
form for the data entry and when I dbl-click the newly added contact, it
uses the new form for display!

Great!!! this is exactly what I want(ed).

Now how can I get all the existing contacts in the same contacts folder to
use this new form for display???? They are ALL displayed in the original
format which lacks some fields I added to the new form.

HELP!! This is driving me crazy! I cannot seem to find any way to change
this.
 
You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this easily.

FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for Outlook forms issues -- microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms.
