Re: Customized letterhead -- DOMINO400

Robert,

As I understand it, the whole point of this is for a company to be able to have a person's picture in his/her person document in the Domino directory. It would be rather useless if it weren't.

While the Personal Name and Address Book template and the Server Name and Address Book (Domino Directory) templates aren't the same for obvious reasons, the person form in each have to be pretty similar in order for the view action "Copy To Personal Address Book" in the Domino Directory to work.

We're not on 8 yet, but the question I have is, does the directory
template(Domino Directory) have the placeholder for the picture or just the
personal address book template(Contacts) ?

The Contacts template and the Directory template are not the same...

Why is this bad news? The example was from a personal address book,
but as I stated, in most cases these will be found in the Domino
Directory, not a personal address book.
