MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Contacts/Address Book
How can I get my contacts which are listed as an address book, show the telephone numbers when choosing from the Address book. In other words, I used to be able to see the telephone numbers in my contacts when I used the Address book feature in Outlook 2003 Thanks The Outlook Address Book has never displayed telephone numbers. The address book in Outlook has one purpose: to display the electronic addresses of your Contacts as you create an electronic message. Accordingly, there is no need or utility for it to display telephone numbers. That's what the Contacts Folder is for.

When my client opens his outlook address book (using the "to' button) and scrolls down in the "Show names from the:" pulldown menu and chooses his contacts all he sees is hash marks where he used to see telephone numbers. Now when I look at my contact address book there are no telephone numbers but also no hashmarks where he insists there were #'s. I had the wrong version of Outlook as well it is 2000. If I did explain it right and the answer is still as below, I will mark it up to "mmm interesting, and how did you do that before?" > The Outlook Address Book has never displayed telephone numbers.

The Contacts Folder is. If the user is using IMO mode of Outlook 2000, we aren't even talking about the Outlook Address Book anymore. It uses the Windows Address Book engine.
