How to Copy - Paste Contacts?

[Alan]

Hello,

Is there a way to Copy - Paste Contacts in the same Contacts folder? I
want to use one as a template for a new one, but Copy - Paste are
greyed out on the Edit menu.

Thanks,

- Alan.

Press Ctrl-C an Ctrl-V after you have selected the contact.
However the copied contact will have the same SearchKey (a GUID identifiying
the contact) the activities will no longer work for this contact and some
synchronization applications will get confused.

All of the contacts, copied one from each other, will have the same
activities regarding journal, task and calendar.
All applications which rely on the SearchKey will also get confused this may
be your PDAs synchronization tool (if it works with the SearchKey field)

Right-click a contact record and drag it a little way. Release the mouse
button and choose Copy.
