This was a great resource page that I didn't know about, but still, what a lousy approach from Microsoft to make minor tweaks so difficult. &nbsp;Thanks.

I want to redesign the default Microsoft Outlook 2003 contacts form. <br />
<br />
KB 82133 documents a known bug &nbsp;-- when you switch to the design mode, the layout reverts to a previous version of the contacts form. &nbsp; <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823133" rel="ugc nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823133</a><br />
<br />
A solution is provided for Outlook 2007 users -- form regions -- but I do not see a solution for Outlook 2003 users. <br />
<br />
My intention was to make minimal changes to the default form, so that it looks as close as possible to the ones that my team members are currently using. &nbsp;I didn't plan to spend hours just to get back to the current starting point.<br />
<br />
So what are my options? &nbsp;What are Outlook 2003 users expected to do to resolve this issue?<br />
