Default HELP!!! How to change all contacts format in one shot


I'm using Outlook 2003. i was able to drag my contact when sending new
mails. But the contact format was different as in (let Outlook decide
the best sending format)and (Send using Rich file format). Is there any
way for me to change all contact format to (let Outlook decide the best
sending format) in one shot as i have hundreds of contact. Thankz

You are not posting a suggestion. You are posting a question, and doing so
without providing any information.
What makes you think the "contact format" has anything to do with this? What
do you mean "it was different?" If you made some changes, state clearly what
they are. State what you mean by "I was able to drag a Contact" and what you
can't do now that you could before.

Default HELP!!! How to change all contacts format in one shot


Sorry for the blur information. Firstly, the issue is that i was not
able to send mails that has the contact properties of (Send using Rich
file format), but i was able to send mail with properties of (let
Outlook decide the best sending format). is there anyway that i was
able to change the properties besides changing one by one? Thankz

No. Outlook sets this property automatically depending on the version,
transport, and address type. It is never an issue under normal usage. Why it
has become one for you remains a mystery since we know none of the above.

I not sure also why some of the contacts become RTF. Is there a
possiblilies that the format for Hotmail contacts are different from
Outlook 2003 contact format? Cause actually i did a testing....... i
send a mail to Outlook account and from there, i save the contact
address, but when i wan to send mail from Outlook to hotmail ( using
the contact i just save from hotmail to Outlook), i cannot receive the
mail. But when i manual type in the address for Outlook contact, i was
able to receive.... Can i conclude that my inital problem ( having RTF
format) is due to the difference format for my Hotmail and Outlook?
Thankz
