Does Outlook 2010 retain this feature?

May 21, 2010 12:16PM PDT

Got no response in MS groups. I will try here. I currently use Outlook 2002 that came with my iPAC rx3115. I use it for contacts and calendar and not for email. Outlook 2002 allows me to highlight a contact and go to Edit menu and click copy and the entire contents of that contact are put into Clipboard. I can then paste the contact information into MS Notepad, an email, etc. and edit it from there. Fast, efficient and simple.

Does Outlook 2010 retain this feature or similar?

Background info: I like and need the quickness of this feature. This is a very important feature for me I use often. I want to upgrade to Outlook 2010 when it is available. Does Outlook 2010 retain this feature? In Outlook 2010, can I quickly copy the entire contents of a contact from Edit menu >Copy into Clipboard just like Outlook 2002? The reason I asked is that Outlook Express had this feature and was easier to do than Outlook 2002. When I purchased my Vista box, Outlook Express was discontinued and I use Windows Mail in Vista for my email app. Windows Mail in Vista does not have this feature. To do it in Windows Mail I would have to Copy & Paste field by field. Argg! So I just use Outlook 2002 for this and it is okay. If Outlook 2010 discontinued this feature that was in Outlook 2002, I will have to look for other tools to copy contact information to Clipboard.

Thanks for the help!
Bob

Thank you for your suggestion. I looked at the video and it did not mention anything about copying a contact. Sorted through the other videos there and did not see anything that would answer the question
Any other suggestions? Thank you for your help.
