In emails, how can I get to see the FULL contact screen (with all the relevant fields on it)?

Hello

When I right-click on an email, how do I get Outlook 2013 to show the full contact screen, rather than the stupid cut-down card for that user?

i.e. When I right-click on an email and select "Open Contact Card" I get this stupid cut-down screen which is missing most of the fields:

Whereas I want to see ALL the fields!  [GRRR]
i.e. I want to see the full screen which looks something like this:

Many thanks

P.S. I am extremely irritated by this. Why does Microsoft dumb things down like this? Why have they actually made things WORSE?

Hi,

Apologize if the new contact card view causes any inconvenience to you. However, there is no method to change this behavior now. I'll submit a feedback regarding this issue through internal way.

We can take two more easy steps to open the full contact edit form. If it is a new contact that has not been saved in your contact folder, just click Save button in the new contact card view (first screenshot), and then click on the source that is listed in the View Source section of the Contact Card.

If the contact has already been added, we can right-click the email address and select open contact card and then click on the source that is listed in the View Source section of the Contact Card.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Regards,
