    - Outlook 2007-Full Name is displaying backwards Hi. I recently imported contacts into Outlook 2007 from Excel. The information seems to have imported correctly. The only problem is that the full name is shown backwards. e.g. Smith Bob (no comma). When I click on the full name dialog box, the last name is in the correct place Last Name: Smith and respectively First Name: Bob, but it just displays backwards in the full name field and in the contact list and on the business card. 'File as' is correct as well e.g. File as: Smith, Bob. That is fine... I have tried to change the current view customization, sorting by full name, last name, first name, none, etc. Under Tools, Options, Contact Options I have set the Default Full Name order as First (Middle) Last. I currently and usually have the current view set as Phone List. Any ideas for me??? I would really apprecaite it. I have been trying to fix this for 2 days. -- /jz Tag: Correct Contacts not showing in address book Tag: 126789

    - Shared Contacts When I use the right click 'add to contacts' on the global directory, it automatically puts this in my contacts. However, part of my role is to add contacts to my managers address books. I have shared access, but how can I add contacts from the global directory straight to their contacts? I have around 100 to add in, which is why I am looking for alternative ways to saving them to mine and then dragging and dropping them in theirs.

    - An additional address list/folder with full rights for all users? Hi all, In my business we use Outlook 2003/Exchange. Earlier we used Lotus Notes/Domino. In Notes/Domino we had three address books, the global Notes/Domino address book (containing the users of the system and group addresses), each user's personal address book and one additional one with contacts outside the business. In this last one we had a few groups which people sent email to from outside the Notes/Domino system. These emails were then forwarded to all the members of the group, most of them outside the business. Is it possible to do such a thing in Outlook 2003/Exchange as well? We don't want to have all these people into the Global Address List because they aren't users of our system. Is it possible to have an address list/folder with full rights for all users in the Global Address List allowing people outside the business to send emails to a group and then have these mails distributed to all the members of that group? All users in the Global Address List must be allowed to edit this address list/folder. The Outlook/Exchange experts we have engaged aren't able to find a solution - but I'm certain there must be one. Can you help? If you can, please let me know. On beforehand thank you very much. Jo Tag: Correct Contacts not showing in address book Tag: 126776

    - Problems Resolving Email Addresses in Outlook I just reformatted my hard drive and re-installed all of my software, including Outllook. I have also installed all of the available fix packs for Office Professional XP. Unfortunately, though, I am still having problems addressing my email. Whenever I type a name into the 'To' field of a new message Outlook is not able to recognise it. Yet, if I click 'To' I am able to select the name I just typed and the name appears on my email and Outlook is able to recognise it. The next name I type in is again not recognised. If I click 'Check Names' Outlook stops at the first name I typed and asks me if I would like to 'Create a new address' for the non-recognizable name. When I then click 'Show names' Outlook not only opens the Address Book but it highlights the name I typed in! If I compose a new email and type one of the names that I had already taken directly from the address book then it will instantly recognize it. Occasionally though, in cases like this it replaces it with a non-existing display name! I have checked for such a non-existing display name by expporting my contacts into an Access file and then using Access to query for the non-existing display name. No such display name was ever found. If I then import this Access table into Outlook -- and tell it to replace all of the duplicates -- nothing changes (i.e. Outlook continues as if nothing happened). Well ALMOST nothing. Outlook switches the name in the 'File As:' field for all of the contacts. I then have to correct the entry in this field for each of my contacts. Does anyone know how I can correct these problems? I thank you in advance for any responses I receive. Tag: Correct Contacts not showing in address book Tag: 126676

    - outlook 2007 prints contacts not in the current view According to OUtlook 2007 help: "Print a subset of your contacts On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Customize Current View. Click Filter, and then use the options to display only those contacts (contact: Person, inside or outside of your organization, about whom you can save several types of information, such as street and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and Web page URLs.) you want to print." So I set up the filter to only show contacts that had either a home or business address or a home or business phone. This is so the view does not display contacts that consist solely of an email address. But when I go to print this the print preview shows all the contacts - even the email only ones. That turns a 3 page printout into 10 - wasting paper on info I don't need or even want to see. Anyway to fix this? thanks rodger Tag: Correct Contacts not showing in address book Tag: 126656

view. In the contacts folder they are correct. When I try to access these
contacts from the To: in the address book, the contacts listed here are not
the current ones in the folder. They are old contacts from a groupwise

How can I get the current contacts within the contacts folder to be visible
