Many actions can be completed in the Contacts folder in Outlook by selecting the necessary contact(s) and then clicking the Actions menu.

Select contact(s). For multiple contacts select first contact and press and continue to hold the Ctrl key and select remaining contacts. Release Ctrl key.

From the Actions menu select an action such as New Message to Contact or New Task for Contact or New Appointment with Contact.

The appropriate window will open (e.g. New Mail Message, New Task, or New Appointment) with the selected contact(s) information automatically completed.
