I think you did not answer my question. Outlook has more than enough ability
to enter new Contacts. I fail to understand from your posts why you think it
does not.

At the moment, I have 790 entries, but I add more on a daily basis. No
matter which view I try to write in, the new entry always ends up at the
bottom of the category list, thereby requiring constant sorting.

If, as I checked for a prior entry, I could see that one is not there, I
could just press my context (middle) button and insert a blank line (as
you
would do in other programs like word processing or Excel), then I could
quickly enter my contact in its correct position and would not take the
time
to constantly sort my list. I never saw a program that did not allow an
insertion, so I thought that I just didn't know how to do it. Now I think
that the Outlook program is just deficient in that particular ability.
What
do you think?

Help me understand what you need to do and why. Table views are not
optimal
for new data entry. Why does the New Contact form in another view not
work
for you?

Thanks, Russ. I appreciate all of your time and effort. I was aware
of
that
top entry line, but I thought that if I were checking the need for an
entry,
anyway, I might be able to insert it in order right then and there, not
return to the top, enter my information, and then have a need to sort.
Oh,
well! If you ever find a way to do that, I would really love to know
as
that
would be a tremendous timesaver.

The Add a New Contact Line is at the top of every Table view. There is
never
a need to insert a new Contact between two others. Where the new
Contact
ultimately appears will be controlled by the sort order of the view in
question.

Thank you, Russ. I still have a problem. I can ADD a name to my
list
when
in Table View by Category, but I am unable to INSERT an entry
between
two
other entries. Did I misunderstand you?

Yes. Just use any Table view of your Contacts Folder.

Can a new contact be added by inserting a line and not using the
template?
If so, how?
