MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2004Bob asks @ address book default settings
I have followed the support suggestion. The Contact list now appears as a 'choice' when I click to send a new message ("new" & "to").. How do I make it the default address book and save the extra step?

I tried it both ways (first last & file as (Smith,John) ) niether seems to change how the names are displayed when I open the address book via "new" & "to".. any other thoughts? > Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or > address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. > Set your sort order there [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] > >> >> >> > more recent version of my .pst file available somewhere-- > >> >> >> > Thanks-- Restart Outlook.
