My department has changed.  It has been renamed to fall under a new group.  I
have a contacts folder with everyone in my department.  Is there anyway to
change the information in the “Department” field of a Contacts folder without
exporting and importing all records?  I know I could probably do it as an
export to a .csv file, do find and replace, then import the file.  I was
hoping to just do it inside Outlook.

Thanks Armor

In a list view of the contacts folder, group the contacts by Department
name. Change the department of one contact to the new name. Then drag the
header for the group with the old name over to the header for the group with
the new name and drop it. That should mass change the department name
