Yes, her extension is now on one line key, but this does not mean she
cannot make a new call if she is already on a line. If she is on a call
and needs to call someone else she would put the first call on hold,
then the "New Call" soft key will appear. You can press that to get
dialtone and place an outgoing call.
This setup breaks (at least, I haven't found a way around it) if set up
additional registrations on the other line keys. Lets say you have
extension 100 on the first line key with 6 calls per key, and extension
101 on the second key with 6 calls per key. You have two incoming calls
on extension 100 and you wish to make a call. If you press the "New
Call" soft key it gives you dialtone on extension 101 instead of on 100.
I have not figured out how to fix this yet, but I almost never have
phones that are registered with more than one extension (except mine of
course).

Doing it that was does accomplish the original question, which is cool. Thanks.
But you're also right in that we wont like it.
This setup only allows for her extension to be registered to just one line key,
unless I am missing something.
So in order for her to dial out, I would need to assign the rest of the line
keys a different extension and set it up as normal.
Under this setup, I am assuming that internally, her coworkers will have to
know both extensions that she has, right?
Thanks,

No, this is all done through the phone provisioning. You are correct,
you would set reg.1.lineKeys="1" but then set reg.1.callsPerLineKey="6"
or 4 or whatever you want. In the default phone1.cfg callsPerLineKey
immediately follows the lineKeys setting.

On the polycom soundpoint ip 650 six line phone:
Say I have 4 lines on hold, is there way to tell who I put on hold.
I cannot see the caller ID of the other lines, only the last line I
placed on hold.

There is a way, but you may not like it.
When you provision the phone you can specify how many line keys and how
many calls per line key you want. If you specify one line key but (lets
say) 4 calls per line key, then the phone will display a scrollable list
of your current calls, including the caller ID. You use the up and down
arrow to select which caller you want and then the soft keys to perform
a function (hold, resume, transfer, end call).
It can require a few more button presses than one call per line key for
certain things and it doesn't work well if you have the phone set up
with multiple registrations.
We use this method on our phones here for the very reason. People don't
seem to mind.
