Email Vcard set up instructions for Microsoft Outlook
To set up a new email Vcard in Outlook:

Create vCard

1. Open Outlook.
2. Go to Contacts, then click "New".
3. Create a contact for yourself with all the information you would like in the vCard.
   *Note If your vCard contains Notes, UserDefined fields, or Outlook-specific fields, these values are stripped from the vCard that is included with the signature. The Signature Picker specifically includes only those fields in a Contact that are essential to the definition of a vCard.
   
   
   
4. Click on the File menu, click "Save As".
   
   
   
5. In the Save file as type box, click to select VCARD Files (*.vcf).
   
   
6. In the Save In box, select the folder where you want to save the vCard file, and then click Save.

4. Enter a name for your signature, and then click Next.
   
   
   
5. Type the desired signature information in the text window (optional).

   In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, click Business Card, select the contact that you want to add, and then click OK three times.
