Before sending this I looked again in the Help files (local and on-line) and
there was nothing I could find with several search strings. Then I just
drilled through the instructions for adding data in the contact form and
through the capture of data during message handling. Nothing there.

I bet this hasn't changed throughout several Outlook versions... but I am
new to outlook in the 2007 iteration, and the MS folks may be assuming some
knowledge of the program's UI -- or forgetting some of the UI elements we
need to be told. I need to leave feedback on the form for the Help file
builders. Anyway, I hope you guys can clear this up in the meantime:

I view client contact data in the window produced when I double-click a
name in the list of clients in my central view. (I don't remember the
official terms for these panes.) In that client data form, an e-mail address
that has been already entered cannot be changed by clicking or
double-clicking in the text in the field. There must be a trick I have to
learn: another key pressed before the click to tell Outlook that I want to
edit this string rather than invoke an e-mail, or some other action. That's
my guess...

So, how do I edit e-mail addresses already entered in e-mail data fields in
the contact form?

I hope this is clearer.

Clarify what you mean. You enter email addresses in Outlook 2007 the same as
every other version.

All,
How do I edit an e-mail address in a field? This is Outlook2007. When I
click it starts the e-mail composition module.
