I want to change the way names are listed when I pick the "to" button while
writing an e-mail. I recently upgraded to Outlook 2002 SP3 and now the
listing shows the name twice (first column as "name" and second as "display
name". Can I eliminate one of them since they are identical?

Also, it shows some people's names twice (or more). For instance, it list
them first with an e-mail, then it repeats on the next row with a fax number.
Is there a way to change that to only show them once (for e-mail only)?

Thanks for any help,

Diane:

I use Outlook XP and the address book therein lists the name twice, the
first time as NAME and the second time as DISPLAY NAME.

Is there any way I can hide or delete one of these two columns?

Thanks in advance,

No. FWIW, the display name can be customized to have just the email address
or something like "John Smith - Home" so you can more easily identify the
address.

Dear Diane:

I am using Outlook XP and the address book therein lists the name of each
contact twice: once as NAME and a second time as DISPLAY NAME.
