In Outlook 2007, one of my users had a link at the bottom of each Task that would link to the Contacts list. In Outlook 2016, that link is missing and I don't know how to put that back. Thanks.
Hi Kathy,
In Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016, Contact Linking option is gone. You can still link Contacts by clicking
File > Properties or Options dialog of an open item.
You can also enable the Contact Linking field by editing the registry. Please follow the steps below:
- Press Windows key+R. Type regedit, then hit
Enter.
- Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\preferences.
- Right-click on the right-side, then point the mouse cursor to New.
- Click on DWORD. Paste showcontactfieldobsolete as New Value#1, then hit
Enter.
- Right-click on showcontactfieldobsolete, then click
Modify.
- Put on Value data = 1 to enable, Value data = 0 to disable.
- Click OK.
- Restart your Outlook to save the changes.
Keep us posted.
