how do I add new contacts to the list in Outlook?

I have recently been upgraded to Outlook from Hotmail. I have sent an email to a new contact and I want to add them to my contacts list. In Hotmail I just needed to click on 'add to contacts' but Outlook does not appear tp have this facility. Can anybody help?

By reading your post your question is about adding new contacts to your MAIN contact list, not your Group contat list.

Is that right ?

If yes, please follow these simple steps..yes................

How to add new contacts to your main contact list :

To access your main contact list:

Open outlook.com > top left next to the logo Outlook, there is a down arrow > click the arrow > click People > All your contacts are now listed on the left. Scroll down to see each contact.

How to add new contacts :

In the same People window, toolbar at top, click New > enter the required info into the boxes > click Save when done.

To Edit your contact list :

Click at the contact's name ( NOT its check box ) > toolbar at top, click Edit.

Note :

1. Edit option will not appear until you have selected a contact.
2. Edit option will not appear if you click at the contact's checkbox.

To delete a contact from the list :

Just click at the contact > toolbar at top, click Delete.

Another vote for the MS sucks brigade.

How can something so bloody obvious not be there?

For the record Win 7 was **** - Win 8/8.1 beggars belief.

I cannot add New Contacts to my Contact Listings

add conttact to hotmail

im using outlook and presupposing its the cloud based outlook. none of the solutions work above the prompt is not coming to me as well. there are no buttons to add at the top, in the down arrows, on the bottom, under more, under people, nada! no where. there is nothing wrong with this laptop im using. no need to reinstall?????al updates are on this laptop. it is 8.1. I get the idea that because these are google based and we have android behaviors and purchases and gmail works just fine that it is because unless we have a windows phone with purchases made only for free from google play that we cannot sync or utilize any ms service without ms purchases; and that free outlook accounts cannot use these type of software programming buttons, scripts, etc. seems fishy as heck!!!
