Default "FULL NAME" Showing reversed in Outlook 2007

Just upgraded to OL 2007 From 2003 and new contacts entered now are showing
up in reverse name order even though the name is correctly entered in
details section.
Comes up correct in "File As" but backwords in FULL Name.
Old contacts are fine.

Help please?

TIA!

They haven't been removed. If you are not accessing these groups with a
newsreader directly connected to Microsoft's public news servers, do so now.
Abandon any web based access or even worse the "forums" that slurp off these
groups.

And one other more important question...I use Symantec talkworks and wish I
could just get voice messages and send and receive faxes in outlook instead.
is there a way to do this?
I only have vista home premium on this machine but would upgrade in a second
if I could do the above.

If I can is it difficult?

TIA!

I see 4 from you in this thread so it's probably just the server acting up -
it happens when the servers are out of sync.
