I want to modify an existing form too - just add one field to a Contact
form, but whichever route I choose, whether from an open form choosing
Tools/Forms/Design this Form or via the main Outlook menu Tools/Forms etc,
the form I am offered is quite different from the one which is actually used
and whether I change it or not, if I save it, it completely rearranges the
entire layout.

Any thoughts on how I can actually modify *this* form - the one that already
exists - and not be given a totally different template?

All you do bring up a new instance of the form and do the Tools - Forms
bit. I
think it is the next step when you get to choose between "design this
form" or
"choose a form to design". Select the first choice. Now, when it comes
to
publishing your changes, always use Save As and choose as name such as
MyForm_ver002. Putting the version number in the form name prevents all
forms
cache problems, and gives you a good way of saving at least three
generations of
the form. Use one of the utilities to change the names of the items in
the old
form name to the new form name plus version number.
