Dialing Contacts directly from Outlook
"a062916" wrote in message
: I would love to be able to have Outlook automatically dial my contacts (rather than looking up someon's phone #) and then manually dialing it. It appears that the software is able to do this. My laptop is equipped with a modem. My question is: how do I set this up? Simply stated, what gets plugged in where? I have a high speed cable internet connection and digital land line telephone service from the same provider. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions! If you've got your laptop's modem connected to a phone jack via the usual phone cable, then you're already set up. Go into Contacts, double-click on the contact you want to phone. What happens next depends on which version of Outlook you have. In Outlook 2007, you'll see "Call" in the Communicate section of the Ribbon at the top of the contact. Just go there and select "New Call..." Then select "Dialing Options..." and make sure everything is set up properly for your phone. -- -- Steven L.

You do realize that this will accomplish nothing that the OP wanted, right?
