Contact inserts
When I want to insert a contact address in Word, I press the "Insert
Address" icon and get a choice of contact folders. On my home PC, having made the folder I want as "Show this folder as email address book", there is no problem - I only see the contact list I want. At work, however, I get a whole list of Global address contacts which I don't need - I have to scroll down to get to the Contacts lists which I have created myself. Is it possible to see only this list please as it's a bit annoying having to scroll down unwanted folders each time I want to insert one addess. TIA |

Yep - set it to not show names from the GAL. This will also affect the
To... field so think twice about doing this. Here's how: In the toolbar click the address book icon (beside the white Contact Lookup window) and then Tools | options | set which places Outlook looks to resolve names and the order. Maybe you should set Contacts first, then GAL.
