Customized form doesn't look like 2007 Contact   

Hi,

I have customized 3 pages of the contact form by the following method:
Tools > forms > design a form > select contact in the standard forms
when the form opens  select Developer > 

At that point, a form opens that can be modified with User-define fields.  I 
then publish the form and it will open .... HOWEVER, the form that opens does 
not resemble the 2007 contact form.  Instead, the form looks like the 
contact in versions prior to 2007 ... no picture, buisness card, categories 
at the top, etc.

Why?

Thanks 
Sammy

In Outlook 2003 and later, developers will see a different layout when they 
put a contact form into design mode. The special controls for the standard 
layout are available only to Outlook 2007 form regions. 

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see
