Special Edition Using® Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2003

Creating Custom Journal Entry Types

The journal comes with a predefined list of entry types that's limited and might not meet your specific needs. The list isn't editable on the form, and you're restricted to selecting an entry type from the list. Fortunately, because the Entry Type list is stored in the Registry, you can change what you see in the Entry Type drop-down list.

CAUTION

Although the thought of editing the Registry scares many people, it isn't difficult to do. You should always export the section of the Registry you're working on before you begin, just in case you make a mistake.

If you're up to the challenge, open the Registry Editor by selecting Start, Run and typing regedit in the box. Click OK.
