Sharing Contacts

Have you ever been asked to provide detailed contact information about yourself? If you have created a contact entry in Outlook about yourself, it’s easy to share with others. Here is how:

• Create a contact entry for yourself in Outlook if you don’t already have one. 
• Open an e-mail and address it to the person to whom you want to send your contact information. 
• From the Insert menu, choose “Attach Item.” 
• Browse to “Contacts.”  
• Select the “Contact” to send, and click “OK.”   
• Send the e-mail. 

When the receiver gets the e-mail with the inserted contact, he or she simply needs to left click, hold and drag the contact to the contacts shortcut button on the navigation menu.  The contact will now appear with all information in the receiver’s contact list.
