Outlook analizes each part of a name which is entered in the "big"
field "Name..." and assignes this parts to the single fields "Title", "FirstName", "MiddleName", "LastName" and "Suffix". You cannot disable this behaviour :-( Please type an title before the last name (e.g. "Mr.") or fill in the last name by clicking the field button "Name..." and put them into the field "Last name".

But I am entering a First Name and Last name.
Try it....Gladys Pol. I have tried on a few different machines. It seems like it is referring the Last Name POL as a Title?

And, in fact, there are a few other last names that will cause this issue as well. "Eng" is one, "Hon" is another, as is "Sir" and any of the titles in the "Title" drop-down. See this thread from July: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook.contacts/browse_frm/thread/2dc71ad45c4b6932/d678d25298638363 I have no idea what other strings will cause Outlook to consider everything in front of them as titles. If you want to see another side-effect of Outlook's attempt to parse the name, try entering "John Sen" or "John X" or "John Ii" -- Brian Tillman |

Try what Peter suggested: Click the Full Name field so you can parse the
individual name elements correctly, especially the Title. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gladys" wrote in message ... But I am entering a First Name and Last name. Try it....Gladys Pol.
