Using Contact Cards

With the Office Communicator 2007 Contact Card, you can find essential information about each of your contacts in a single convenient location. You can also use the Contact Card as a quick way to start an audio or instant-messaging session, send an e-mail message, or schedule a meeting.

Show the Contact Card

• In the Contact List, click the Presence button next to the contact's name.

What is on the Contact Card?

The following table describes the information that can appear on a Contact Card. For some contacts, you may not see all of the information described, depending on their Personal Options settings, or on how they have set your access level. In addition, your organization may have configured Communicator to hide certain contact details. For more about how access levels can affect what information is available, see the Presence Survival Guide.
