Tool bar lost in Contacts

The tool bar has disappeared in my Contacts file. How do I get it back. I
want to add a person and there is no add--(I know I can add a person by
sending an e-mail to them or saving when they send to me, but I just want to
add right now without sending a message)

Re: Tool bar lost in Contacts

Open Contacts. Right-click in a blank area and select "Customize this folder."
Right under "Use this folder type as a template" is a drop-down selector.
Select Contacts, click OK.

Hi Leslie,

See the NOTE in step 2 of this tutorial. It will show you how to get "New Contact" back.

Re: Tool bar lost in Contacts

Thanks Gary for this answer but I get no menu when I right-click in the blank
spot. I had tried that before I posted my problem. It's like the tool bar
and the ability to find it are gone. I did have it in the past but it is
now totally gone.

Re: Tool bar lost in Contacts

I have no idea why your right-click menu is not appearing.
If no one else has a fix for you, I suggest upgrading to WLM:
