In Outlook 2007, the Contacts box for linking items to contacts does not appear by default. You will need to turn it on -- Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show Contact Linking on All Forms.

In previous edition of Outlook the CONTACTS field was on the default page 1
of the default contacts form. About 7 years ago I took an Outlook class and
the instructor didn't know how to use that field so I am not surprised users
may not have known how to use this incredible field. I can find it clicking
ALL FIELDS but I want it on the main contact form. I know how to create
custom forms and when I have created a new contact from a custom form screen
the CONTACTS field is still there. I have only had office 2007 for about a
month and am spending about 30 min a day going thru the tutorials so maybe
I'll eventually discover a better way to access this super field that to me
is now almost hidden. I could copy this new cool default form and then
always create new contacts in my copied form but contacts I create from email
ADD TO OUTLOOK CONTACTS would surface in the default form and I would have to
copy paste the info to my form. I'd never remember to do that.
