HOWTO: Make a copy of your Contacts in a public folder

Document: Q1221

Overview:

If you're a business user and have a list of contacts that you would like to give people in your organization access to, you can do it through Microsoft Outlook.

NOTE: This will only make a copy of the contacts currently in your Contacts folder. It will not synchronize your public folder contact list with your Contacts folder. Unfortunately, there's currently no way to do that.

Procedure:

  1. In Outlook, click Contacts (or any other contact list which you'd like to copy).
  2. Click Edit->Copy To Folder.
  3. In the window that pops up, scroll down and click the plus sign next to Public Folders.
  4. Click the plus sign next to All Folders.
  5. Click the plus sign next to your organization's domain name.
  6. Click Public Folders to highlight it.
  7. (You can choose any folder. This example will place a copy of your Contacts in the organization's root Public Folder.

  8. Click OK.
You should probably rename your contact list to identify it better. (It will be Contacts or Contacts with a number after it by default. Not very descriptive. To rename your Public Folder contact list:
  • Click Go->Folder List. (This may be View->Folder List in some versions of Outlook.)
  • In the folder list on the left, scroll down and click the plus sign next to Public Folders.
  • Click the plus sign next to All Folders.
  • Click the plus sign next to your organization's domain name.
  • Click the plus sign next to Public Folders.
  • (If you put your contacts in a different folder, go to that folder.)

  • Right-click on the contact list and click Rename.
  • Type in the new name for your contact folder such as 'Scotts contacts' and hit Enter. Now it will be clear to anyone viewing your shared contacts who put them there.
