e-mail addresses from a .csv file from my old PC. They have all been imported correctly but the "Display as.." field automatically repeats the e-mail address. Is there any way I can change them all so that what appears in the "To:" box is simply the first and last names? Could I have created a field in the Excel file to do this?

The field missed was one to map to Email Display Name containing whatever
