Default [OL2007] - Customize the contact layout in edit mode? -

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to add fields to the
main contact window shown when you edit a contact.
I'd like to add some custom fields and remove some I never
use.

I checked
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=35
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...106101033.aspx

and followed instructions from those pages, but when I open
a contact, and then tell Outlook 2007 to "Design This Form",
the design form shown is not the same. It just doesn't look
like it.

The open contact looks like the "normalmode.jpg" screen capture.
As soon as I switch to design mode, it looks like "editmode.jpg".
Any way to really edit the form that looks like an open contact?
Here are the captures:
www.sjordi.com/outlook/normalmode.jpg
and www.sjordi.com/outlook/editmode.jpg

From what I read, Microsoft says
"This problem occurs because the design mode Contact form was not
updated with the new Outlook user interface."
(That's from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823133)

But I never had any Outlook and/or PST file on my machine before.
I don't even have MS Office (I use WordPerfect Office).
And I never used Outlook Express.

Thanks for any help


Sincerely,
Steve JORDI
