MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008Microsoft Outlook 2007 Contacts vs Address Book
Hello All, I have recently upgraded from Eudora to Outlook 2007. I have everyone organized in my contacts by catigories and also by department name. When I want to send out a e-mail, I need these addresses in the address book organized just how I have them in my contacts either catigory or department name along with first and last name. The only way they are listed in the address book right now is by first and last name. Is there anyway to reorganize or to send out a e-mail to several people through contacts? I know in Eudora I was able to select several people from my address book and then insert them into my e-mail. The address book view in Outlook is an outdated relic that has not been updated in a decade. It provides none of the features you seek. Microsoft never intended for you to use it. They expect you to use customized views of your Contacts Folders instead. You cannot group the address book view in any way other than by separate Contact Folders. Your only options for sorting the address book view are: 1. First, Last 2. File As...  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hello All, > I have recently upgraded from Eudora to Outlook 2007.

If I were to use the customized views of my contacts, how so I incert multiple names into the To or CC field of a e-mail? I tried highlighting them but when I right click I don't see a choice to somehow get them into the e-mail. -Jason > The address book view in Outlook is an outdated relic that has not been > updated in a decade.

That would depend entirely on how you created your Contacts and whether you wanted to send to all or only one of the electronic addresses for each Contact. Normally one selects the intended recipients in the Folder > Actions > Create > New Message to Contact...

Thanks, Is there a way then to insert them into the CC field instead of To or will I have to copy and paste? - Jason > That would depend entirely on how you created your Contacts and whether you > wanted to send to all or only one of the electronic addresses for each [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >> > book > >> > and then insert them into my e-mail. Nope. You must copy and paste.

In your Contacts folder, select the contacts to whom you wish to send a message, then click Actions>New Message to Contact. You can do this with categories as well.
