Adding new contacts
Most of us have a pile of business cards that we got at some convention, or various other places, that we need to get into our contacts in Outlook. Outlook is a great place to manage all those cards. It can be a time-consuming endeavor uploading all of them, but the payoffs could be large. There are several apps that you can get on your phone that will allow you to snap a picture of a card and sync that picture with an Outlook contact. If you receive a lot of business cards, you may want to consider using one of these apps. In Outlook, to enter contact information, click People | New Contact and enter the information that is available.
