Customize Pages on a Form

In general, you can customize up to five pages on a form. For email messages and posts, you can customize a sixth page, the Message page; for contacts, you can customize the General page. You can also customize forms by using form regions. For a side-by-side comparison of both options, see Customizing Form Pages and Form Regions.

Forms customized with form regions

When you customize a form by using form regions, you begin with a standard form as a template, just as you do when you customize a form page. Any type of form region opens as a separate blank page in the Forms Designer, and you design your layout from there. For more information, see How to: Create a Form Region and Walkthrough: Add a Form Region to an Existing Page on a Form.

Forms customized with form pages

In the Forms Designer, do the following:

  1. Click the page that you want to customize.

  2. From the Field Chooser, drag a field to the page. Outlook automatically sizes the field for you. If you don't see the Field Chooser box, on the Developer tab, in the Tools group, click Field Chooser.If the field that you want does not appear in the Field Chooser, click a different field set from the list in the box at the top of the Field Chooser.

  3. To align, size, or remove fields, right-click the field, and then select the options that you want from the shortcut menu.

  4. Add and remove controls.
