Outlook BCM 2007 - Create from existing company??

[cross post from general questions]

Sorry, I didn't realize that there was actually a BCM section and so posted
this question original in Outlook General.

I was just wondering if there is a way to create a contact from an
existing company in the Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager. Outlook 2003
BCM had it and it was great time saver. Adding all of my business cards from
trips now is almost unbearable as I have to enter all of the information
manually each and every time.

Any replacements for this? Is it just really hidden or just a missing feature?

Thanks for any advice.

Are you talking about creating a new Business Contact from an Account record?
I've been able to accomplish this by clicking on the Add button down in the
Business Contacts section, then clicking the New button from the window that
pops up. There it creates a new Business Contact record that is linked to the
Account record and has the business name, phone number, address, website,
assigned to, and contact rating already filled in that was brought over from
the Account record.

Is this what you mean?
