MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Exporting Excel Contacts to Outlook - Want to Change the Display
I've imported a file successfully to Outlook but want to change the default setting from Last Name, First Name to Last Name, First Name (Company). In Tools - Options, I had changed the Contact Options for New Contacts to Last Name, First Name (Company) and then imported but the contacts still are displaying Last Name, First Name. "Default setting?" To which field might you be referring? If you are referring to the File As... field, your settings will not apply to Contacts you import, so you'll have to change them yourself.

Thanks for your reply Russ. Yup, I was referring the File As field. So, I'm going to have to change each of the thousands of contacts myself? No other option, huh?Yikes!! > "Default setting?"

You can use code to do it if you want: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291144&Product=ol2002 SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks for your reply Russ.

I'm not a programmer so it looks pretty intimidating. Maybe after a glass of wine! > You can use code to do it if you want: > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291144&Product=ol2002 [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > Name, First Name (Company) and then imported but the contacts still are > >> > displaying Last Name, First Name. |
