Outlook 2003 Address Book
How do I display my address book (Outlook 2003)in alphabetic order by the
LAST NAME,First Name, then e-mail address? I have Outlook 2000 on my computer at work, and the contacts are filed-as "company,(last name,first)" on the contacts card. When sending e-mail with Outlook 2000,the address book displays the contact's last name, first name and e-mail address. When sending e-mails using outlook 2003 the address book lists the Company Name,(contact name), display name and then e-mail. This is very confusing and I would like to format the Outlook address book the some on both computers while still filing the contacts by Company name. Outlook 2000 seems to be able to do this, why not Outlook 2003? Your help would be most appreciated. |

Just today there are multiple posts telling you how to do this.
Never hurts to read before you post. Go to Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address books Outlook Address Book Change. Set your sort order there You have only 2 choices: 1. First, Last 2. File As... -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mdlmark" wrote in message ...

Ok, thanks, but your remark and solution did not help. How can I get the
address book (Outlook 2003) to look like the outlook express address book? I am able to set this up with office 2000 but not 2003, has something changed? No matter what I try when I change the Outlook 2003 address book display, the sorting of my contacts are completely changed from being filed as "company,(last name, first name)", I guess it is not possible to have it "both ways" "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Just today there are multiple posts telling you how to do this.

This has never been possible with the Outlook Address Book.
Only the Windows Address Book does this. The old Internet Mail Only mode of Outlook used the Windows Address Book. No full version of Outlook ever has. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mdlmark" wrote in message ... Ok, thanks, but your remark and solution did not help.
