When I create a contact and type in a name (Steve Sweitzer) the Steve goes
into the Last name field and the Sweitzer goes into the First Name field.
How can I change this so the name is entered into the correct field.

Configure the Full Name field correctly. Tools > Options > Preferences >
Contact Options...

Thanks so much,, this was driving me crazy. I knew it was something obvious
like this but couldn't find it - either on my own or anywhere in Help.

This solved the problem.

When I create a contact and type in a name (Princess Dixon) the Princess goes
into the Last name field and the Dixon goes into the First Name field. How
can I change this so the name is entered into the correct field.

I have already tried the solutions that you have given as far as the tools
options contacts options.
Can you please help me with this.

State what you tried.
State what happened.
State whether you are referring to new or existing Contacts.

I am referring to existing contacts. I've done what you suggested to no avail.
