Outlook Contacts Tutorial
Outlook isn’t much use if you don’t have contacts. Sure, you can enter email addresses as you go, but that’s time-consuming and error-prone. It’s better to have your contacts already in Outlook, so you can dash off a quick message in just a few clicks.

To begin managing your contacts, the first thing you want to do is open the People mode so you can get down to work. There’s quite a few ways to add
contacts to your address book.
Creating an Address Book

Note, for each email account you have, you’re going to have an address book. In this particular situation, we have a local
address book for our local Outlook data file, and we have another one associated with
our email account.

In any event, let’s cover the basics so that if you don’t have an address book to
import, you can start adding contacts manually. In the following screenshot we see a portion of our new address book,
which is completely empty, for now.

To start, just click the “New Contact” button and it will open a new contact window. The first thing
that may jump out at you is just how busy it appears but fear not, if you look past the many
features on the Ribbon, you’ll see that it’s a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill contacts form.

Let’s cut to the chase then and make a contact for How-To Geek by filling in the appropriate values. You can also add an
image, which is unnecessary, but still a nice touch to the bland, boring address book.

Outlook Contacts Tutorial
After you’re done entering your contact or contacts, you will want to either click “Save &
Close” or you can click “Save & New” to generate another contact. Let’s do that. We have a choice between creating a whole new contact or a new
contact for the same company.

In this case, we’ll choose the latter to save time on typing, after which we’ll click “Save & Close” to
reveal our new address book entries.

Regardless of whether you use Gmail or Yahoo Mail!, or you have an email account from 1997 that you’ve carefully kept and maintained, contacts and
all, inevitably you may need to put contacts into your Outlook contacts en masse.
