How to Display Multiple Contacts

hi:

this is probably a simple ques, but I can't find a solution.

Helping someone with multiple contacts (i.e. under contacts is contacts1,
contacts2, contacts3 etc.)

How can I change the view so all the contacts listed under the multiple
contacts can display under main contacts window?

Using Outlook 2003

Thanks kindly

It would be difficult to create a more opaque question.
"multiple contacts?" Define that term.
Change which view?

you can't view them in one view if they are in separate folders. Why not
assign categories to the contacts instead and use custom views to show or
hide them as needed? This will allow you to see all in one folder.

I'll assume you have Outlook 2003 or 2007. Please post your version!!!

I think you have Contacts sub-folders and want the data in the primary
Contacts folder. If that is the case do this:

In the bottom left corner of Outlook, (in the Navigation Pane) click and
show the Folder List.
Stay in the Folder List and click the Contacts button below the calendar.

Select all Contacts in the sub-folder and drag to the primary Contacts
folder. Release. Reapeat with the COntacts from the other sub-folders.

Now right click the subfolders and delete them. One at a time.

Please let me know if that fixed your problem as I guessing what your
problem is from your description!

Hi Judy:

Thank you, your solution worked. Sorry for not putting Outlook 2003 in the
beginning of my post and not making my question clear.

Thanks again,

Bob
