MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2005Contact folders
In Outlook 2002, I was able to set up and display contact folders & subfolders, making it possible to group contacts and only display subfolders that I needed to. When I imported my PST to Outlook 2003, all the contact folders are displayed at the same level. Is there an easy way to change some of these folders to subfolders? thanks... Why did you import? You could have just reused the PST file or open it and copy things where you wanted them. Why can't you now just move them to be subfolders of the default?

Well, I tried just copying the PST file (from the old computer using Outlook 2002), but the same display problem occurs ie the contact subfolders are displayed at the same level (ie not nested as they were in 2002). Interestingly, if I create a new folder, the "Create new folder" dialog box correctly shows the subfolder nesting, so it appears to be a setting for how "My Contacts" is displayed. However, I can't find an option to change the display setting. Any ideas? > Why did you import? You could have just reused the PST file or open it and > copy things where you wanted them.

Why don't you just drag and drop your existing folders where you want them? If you had simply copied your old PST and opened it in Outlook it would have appeared the same as it did before. You must have done something else.

What I think is happening here is that you're using the "Contacts" View in the Navigation Pane (i.e., clicking the Contacts button at the bottom of the left pane in Outlook). The Contacts view shows you all of the folders that contain Contact items and shows them at the same level no matter how they're nested. If you were to change to the Folder List view, I suspect you'll see the nesting you have.
