Outlook Contacts Question
Hello--Does anyone know a way to automatically organize (not manually) previously entered names in the Outlook contact "file as" directory by first name, last name?
I recently puchased a new computer and loaded Outlook and inputted my conact directory from my Blackberry. My previous Outlook "fiel as" directory was organized in a first name, last name order (my preference). For some inexplicable reason the newly inputted contacts have gotten jumbled to last name, first name. Outlook doesn't seem to ahve a command to automatically reverse this order. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Re: Outlook Contacts Question
Hi, yes I know how to do it, or at least this is the way I do it and it works. Tools, Options, on Preferences tab, in the middle on the left, there is a button called Contact Options. Click on this. You will see at the top two places you need to change it to first name, last name. Then you need to go into Tools, Options again, under Account Settings. Choose the Address Book Tab at the far right. Click on the "Change" icon and you will see at the bottom there are radio buttons to click on your desired preference. To make the changes come into effect you need to close Outlook and reopen and all your contacts will be re-ordered in the way you want them. Hope this helps.
