Beginning with Outlook 2003 SP2, users can work with most .oft form templates files only by opening the template from the Tools | Forms | Choose Form dialog, browsing for User Templates in File System. If you're planning to use it to create items, you'll want to publish it to your contacts folder.

I want to design a new Contacts form. I opened a blank Contacts, saved it
to desktop as DesignMe.oft, and went to work. I got the phone number fields
the way I wanted, and saved as *.oft, overwriting DesignMe.oft. I closed.

When I went to open DesignMe.oft -- my designed form was nowhere to be
found! Where in the system should I be looking for it? I want to test it a
little and design it some more.
