MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2007why do the letters "bay" in the full name field generate a title?
when I create a contact and enter the name (or letters) "bay" outlook automatically populates the "title" field and not the "first name" or "last name" field as with evrey other letter combination i have ever used or tried. Does anybody know why? does anybody know if there is a fix other then populating the "first name" or "last name" fields manually? Who knows. :) but it happens with any set of words containing bay - "Mike Bay" is a title now. I can make it a suffix by enclosing it in quotes.... which means one method of forcing words together doesn't work. Neither does a period following it. They programmed it to recognize words common to titles and they automatically populate that field when entered - no idea why Bay would be a title though... there are others that do this (many more than are on the short predefined list), but the ones I knew about were obviously titles.
