Where are Outlook 2007 business card templates stored? I have downloaded a
template and want to modify it but can't find it. Any help would be
appreciated!

As far as I can tell, template is a complete misnomer for these downloads. Outlook has no built-in business card template capability. The download appears to be a single contact with a customized electronic business card. If you want to use that EBC design for your own contact, you'd replace the download's information with your own information.

Sue,

That seems to agree with my inability to find a template. I know you can
change the download information with mine, but I want to actually change a
portion of the design, not the information taken from the contact.

To change the design, in the open contact, right-click on the business card, and choose Edit Business Card.

I wanted to use a template but add my logo to it. Doesn't look like it is
possible unless you edit the image with an image editor.

The Change button under Image doesn't work for you?
