and then find a spot to put a little Legend showing what each stands for, and hope that Microsoft-in-the-head does indeed make it more like the Windows version very soon.īy the way, there's a narrow column field on the far right side of my Outlook that just has a grey dot as it's header.Note: Support for Office 2016 for Mac ended on October 13, 2020. I'll just name my profession-specific fields Custom 1, Custom 2, etc. The non-nameable fields put a big damper on all that, but I'm gonna try it anyway.

I checked it out using Parallels on my Mac, and was ready to buy, when I happened to open Outlook from my Office for Mac 2011 collection.and saw that it looked & worked almost exactly like Chaos (eerie, I think Chaos simply cloned Outlook to make their CRM).and I already owned it! So it was free and I'd be able to run it as a Mac dekstop app instead of running Windows 7 through Parallels AND it was also syncable to my iPad through iTunes! Got excited. It did everything I need (including user-nameable fields & column heads,) but it was only for Windows, and it cost about $80. Thanksĭiane& Admin, I want to thank you both for replying so clearly & completely.ĭon't know if you've ever heard of a Customer Management software called Chaos. How do I rename the column headers Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3 to be named "Make" "Model" & "Year Built," etc.? I'm assuming, since Microsoft is allowing you to add "custom" columns, they also allow you to give those columns whatever "custom" name you require. No use creating 4 or 5 new columns for special info, only to have the column headers still named Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3, etc. However, once they're in place, I need to be able to name each column header what I want.

That's good, because I need to add specific columns for "Make" "Model" & "Year Built," etc., that don't match any of the pre-named column labels. Then you can add more columns by right-clicking any column header and getting a long drop-down list of pre-named column headers.including Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3, etc. In Contacts View, there's all the basic column headings for things like Name, Primary email, Company, Work Phone, etc. Just started using Outlook for Mac 2011, as a client list (Contacts) connected with an appointment book (Calendar view.) Looks like it'll work fine for this.
