Customizing the Details Templates

Details templates control the appearance of object properties that are accessed by using address lists in both Microsoft MS-DOS® 16-bit and MAPI 32-bit client applications. When a user opens an address list in Outlook, for example, the properties of a particular object are presented as defined by the details template in the Exchange organization. You can use the default details template shown in the following figure.
