MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006"Full Name" display problem in Contacts
I fill in the "full name" dialog box correctly (e.g.: First=Mary, Middle=A., Last=Jones), but it sometimes (not in all contacts) shows as Jones A. Mary when it should show Jones Mary A. If I switch the first and middle names in the dialog box, it shows correctly. So somehow the First and Middle name boxes are getting switched. Note: This is just for "Full Name" and its display window; the "Display As" window below is correct: Jones, Mary A. Thank you. Post Outlook version. Post the settings you specified for the Full Name... field when you configured Outlook.

How can you say there is no such option when it clearly is right in front of me? How can I send you a picture so you can see that I'm not lying or nuts, and that it IS THERE?
