MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005how to delete blank contact blocks
Somehow I managed to add about a gazillion blank contacts into my contact folder. Now I have to scroll all the way to the end every time I open my contacts folder. The contact header [123] says blank-blank. How do I get rid of these blanks?? Outlook 2000 and XP. Why can't you delete them?

Try changing your view from Address cards to Phone List and you'll be able to manipulate your data more. Use the Group By Box and Field chooser and you'll find Contacts much more powerful.

Changing to the phone list let me delete like in Excel. Even at that it took about 10 seconds to remove all the blanks. Thanks a lot!! > Try changing your view from Address cards to Phone List and you'll be able > to manipulate your data more.
