MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2005show last names *first* in my contactlist
Hello When looking at my contacts I see them stored with last/first name or as first/last name. I would like to convert them all at once so they can be read and accessed last/first name. Can you help? PS I have MS OUtlook 2003 To what view are you referring? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > PS I have MS OUtlook 2003 When I open up my "Address Book" via "tools--> addressbook" but also when I have a 'new message' and I want to find an address/name and I push the button "TO"for instance.... Some emailaddresses are with full name: firstname lastname file as: lastname firstname Others are stored full name: lastname firstname file as: lastname firstname or are stored full name: lastname firstname file as: firstname lasttname PROBLEM is that when viewing the COMPLETE addresslist (and when I have the intention to browse the names) some are seen in the first column with their firstname first and some with their lastname first.... Can't I group them somehow so I can view them ALL with their lastname first? It does not matter HOW I enter a new contact, they all are viewed differently in the complete addressbook-list and I reeeeaaallly would like some synchronicity in my list :( > To what view are you referring? > When I open up my "Address Book" via "tools--> addressbook" but also > when I have a 'new message' and I want to find an address/name and I > push the button "TO"for instance.... What happens when you click (in Outlook, not the Address Book) Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address books>Next, select the Outlook Address Book, click Change, select the "Show names by" order you want, click Close, then Finish, and stop and restart Outlook? Do the names appear the way you want?
