MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005Contact Annoyance - Outlook 2000
Composing a new e-mail, I hit the "To" button, in order to add addresses to the message. The mini-address book that comes up, however automatically lists only names, and not e-mail addresses. So, for instance, I will have an option of "Bob Smith (e-mail), Bob Smith (e-mail 2), Bob Smith (e-mail 3)" etc, but nothing useful unless I check the address properties to see if I am using their work or home e-mail. Any way to change the way this is displayed? Only by editing the "Email Display As" field for each Contact you have.

Or open each Contact record and double click the email address to bring up the dialog that exposes the Display As field. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > And this is done how exactly? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> > using their work or home e-mail.

I must say, however, that the options for the contact management and view are BRUTAL. > Add the Email Display As field to a list view of your Contacts and edit it > there.

The Outlook Address Book was never intended for anything but a simple list of email addresses so you can pick one while creating a message. All sorting and filtering options exist in the Contacts Folders where the data is actually stored, not in the address book view.
