Question : How to modify default Microsoft Outlook Contacts Form in Outlook 2003 :  KB 82133 does not provide a solution

I want to redesign the default Microsoft Outlook 2003 contacts form.

KB 82133 documents a known bug  -- when you switch to the design mode, the layout reverts to a previous version of the contacts form.   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823133

A solution is provided for Outlook 2007 users -- form regions -- but I do not see a solution for Outlook 2003 users.

My intention was to make minimal changes to the default form, so that it looks as close as possible to the ones that my team members are currently using.  I didn't plan to spend hours just to get back to the current starting point.

So what are my options?  What are Outlook 2003 users expected to do to resolve this issue?

Outlook 2003 introduces a new layout to the first page of the contact form to display a picture, as well as related new ContactItem properties and methods -- AddPicture, RemovePicture, and HasPicture.

Programmers, however, will see the older layout when they put an Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode. If you modify the first page, the form will display the layout that you set for that page. If you do not modify the first page, Outlook 2003 will show the new contact layout for the first page, plus any custom pages you create.
