To add a custom field to an Outlook view

The secret of Outlook's built-in printing routines is that a field must appear in the current view of the folder contents in order for it to print. Here's how to add a custom field -- one you created for a particular form -- to the view:

Outlook 98 or later | Outlook 97 | More Information

Outlook 98 or later

  1. Choose View | Current View | Customize Current View.
  2. On the View Summary dialog box, click Fields.
  3. On the Show Fields dialog box, under Select available fields from, choose User-defined fields in folder.
  4. Select the field you want to add under Available fields, then click Add to move it to the Show these fields in this order list.
  5. Reorder the fields using the Move Up and Move Down buttons, then click OK.

If you created the field only in the form, not in the folder, you will need to add it to the folder using the New button on the Show Fields dialog box.

Outlook 97

  1. Choose View | Show Fields.
  2. Continue with steps 2-5 as above.
