Cool Tip of the Day 11: Customize Your Presence Information

Microsoft®
Office Communicator 2007 R2 provides a full set of personal presence
attributes that you can customize and make available to other contacts
to help them communicate with you. As shown in this illustration,
presence attributes include your presence status, your location, and a
personal note.

Add and publish phone numbers

In the Office Communicator Title bar, click the Menu button, click Tools, click Options, and then click the Phones

you should change Access Levels for those contacts with whom you want to
share your phone number. See “Control Access Levels to Your Presence Information” on this card for more information.
