MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008Show contact - Last Name, First Name
Hi, In the contact folder, the listing format is Last Name, First Name, but when I do a new email and click "TO" the listing format is First Name Last Name. I did the change "Sort the Contacts list by the File As field" like said here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010565141033.aspx But got the same problem for the "TO". Running OUTLOOK 2003 Any Ideas ? > In the contact folder, the listing format is Last Name, First Name, > but when I do a new email and click "TO" the listing format is First [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Running OUTLOOK 2003 Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book. Click Change. Set the sort order there. You may have to stop and restart Outlook for it to take effect.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Thank you Brian Tillman. Russ Valentine is not at all helpful with his arogant attitude. I don't care if he is an MSVP and there are 2450 posts on this subject. I've been using MS OUTLOOK for 10 years and with Office Outlook 2007 I've been having a difficult time getting the LAST, FIRST Names in the TO: GUI box despite the fact that the Contacts are listed Last, First in my Address Book. It is just simply not that obbvious. Anyway, your suggestion of closing OUTLOOK and restarting it was the KEY. BTW, this feature should have been designed into the OPTIONS---> PREFERENCES----->CONTACTS to begin with then there wouldn't have been 2450 posts on this subject. One's CONTACTS has nothing directly to do with the TOOLS--->EMAIL Accounts feature.

Google would have found all of them in less time than it took to ask the question in the first place. You would benefit from learning how to use Google Groups Search. http://groups.google.com/ SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
