how to apply new contact form to existing forms

**Nick Cumberbatch** · July 2nd 06, 05:13 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I am using WIN XP Professional and Outlook 2003

I am referring to the form in CONTACTS. Recently I went to Tools, Forms,
Design Form. I added a new Field "Department" under "Company" field and
Published this as "my form".
I then go to Navigator Pane, right click on Contact Folder, Properties and
selected "my form" in "when posting to this folder use" box.

Now when I try to create a new contact I get the form with the change I made
("department" is there). So far so good.

How can I now get the existing contacts to reflect this change. Does the
change only apply to new contacts and how could I apply it to existing
contacts.

Thanks
