I am using outlook 2003 with Exchange Server 2003.

We have a user who has brought over her contact from another company. It was
a "PST file that we added to her outlook profile. She can access her contacts
by clicking on the "contact" list that was created when the PST file was
inserted. When she composes an email and clicks on "TO" to choose add an
email recipient, she chooses an address from the contact list added by the
the inserted PST file. When she chooses a recipient for the email, it shows
the email address instead of the email recipients name. Is there a way to
default this to the "name" that correlates to the email address instead of
just the address? One fix was to go into each contact and change the display
name. She has over 1000 contact which would take alot of time. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

The familar name was the default for the Email Display As field in Outlook
versions before 2002. Not sure why you think you need to change it, but
you'll have to edit each field individually or write code to do it.
