How to: Assign Alternative Addresses

You can assign an alternative address where your contacts are sometimes sent mail and information, for example, their summer cottage.

To assign an alternative address

  1. In the Search box, enter Contacts, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Contacts window, select the contact that you want to assign alternative addresses to.

  3. On the Contact card, on the Navigate tab, in the Contact group, choose Alternative Address, and then choose Card. The Contact Alternative Address card opens.

  4. Enter a new alternative address and fill in the fields on the Contact Alternative Address card.

  5. To specify the date ranges for which the alternative address is valid, on the Navigate tab, in the Contact group, choose Alternative Address, and then choose Date Range.

  6. Fill in the Starting Date and Ending Date fields.

Repeat these steps to assign as many alternative addresses as you want. For each alternative address you may want to specify one or several date ranges.

You can also assign alternative addresses from the Contact List window by following the same procedure.
