What does the main page look like on the items using the new form? Does it look like the main page you see in design mode?

Thanks for your quick response.

When I click design this form in the developer tab, the design pages
appears. I can enable the other page tabs and drag my fields onto it, then
publish it. Then Designate that form to be used by a particular folder.

However when I open a new contact form from that folder, it doesn't look
anything like the regular contact form that comes installed with 07, which is
the one I started from in design forms, and didn't change anything on the
main page.

All I am trying to do is enable the additional pages and have other fields
on them, rather than add anything to the main page of the contact form.

Contact forms work the same in Outlook 2003 as in 2007. The layout in the standard form is different from the layout available to developers. Forms you designed in Outlook 2003 should work in 2007.

What 2007 adds is a new form design technology, called form regions, that allows you to add a panel in the standard form's main page or add more pages.

however, I can't find a way to display them with custom fields.

Drag custom fields you've created in the Field Chooser to any customizable page.

When I
design a contact form from the 2007 Contact Form, it loses all the formatting
from the original form.

What formatting?

I just installed OL 2007, and need to make changes to the contact form to
suit my purposes. I did this quite easily in 2003. However I read all that
has changed.

I would be perfectly happy to just use the additional tabs provided,
however, I can't find a way to display them with custom fields. When I
design a contact form from the 2007 Contact Form, it loses all the formatting
from the original form.

Please help.

Thanks
