Changing the default in the file as field in Outlook '03

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP3

In the 'file as' field there is a drop-down box with the following choices:
â?¢ Last, First
â?¢ First Last
â?¢ Company
â?¢ Last, First (Company)
â?¢ Company (Last, First)

The current default is Last, First and I would like it to be Company.
Currently I'm changing it manually for each new contact I enter.

Based on the reply to this post:

it appears it is possible to change the default, but I cannot find the
proper place to do so.

I also found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291144&Product=ol2002
But I'm not sure that's exactly what I want to do.

Any instructions you can provide or direction as to where to find this
information will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, I was afraid no one would see it there. I wanted to edit my post to
clarify my question, but this forum doesn't have that feature.
Thanks for your help.
Here's a link to that post in case others need that info
