    - Copying contacts (verify) I need to format my laptop which has Vista and Office Professional 2003 and I would like to verity how to copy my contacts and know how to copy them back before I have formatted. I have done this before many years ago and ended up with 3 or 4 contacts list and I dont want to do that again. I located the .pst file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ and have copied it onto a CD since I will be formatting. Once I format (this I am not entirely sure I am correct) Put a copy of the .pst file from the CD in the same location as above. I am assuming it will ask me if I want to override and say yes. I saw Russ post this to someone else and I am assuming this is done once I copy the .pst file as stated above? To use a PST file from an earlier installation and set it to be the default for your current installation of Outlook: - Go to Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Data Files > Add... - Add the PST you'd like as your new default, then Close > OK to exit the Options dialog - Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change existing e-mail accounts - Select the PST you just added in the "Deliver New e-mail to the following location" dropdown (it will most likely appear just below the current default Personal Folders file) > Finish - Exit and Restart Outlook - You can now close the previous default PST (R-click on that pst folder while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername> Folders"). If you have any information in your former PST that you'd like to transfer to your new default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the other before you close the old one.

    - How can my boss view my contacts and activities on her own compute I have created a Contacts Folder and put each client into its own contact. I have linked deadlines, calendar entries, journal entries, notes to many of the contacts. I have allowed her permission to the Contacts Folder. However, from her computer, when she opens a contact and clicks on the "Activities" button, it states that there are none. I can only seem to view from the creator's (MY) computer. Does anyone have information on what I'm doing wrong so that my things can be viewed from other computers? HELP ME PLEASE!!! Tag: Move all contacts from one folder to another Tag: 126793

    - 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: Move all contacts from one folder to another Tag: 126789

    - 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: Move all contacts from one folder to another 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?

    - 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: Move all contacts from one folder to another Tag: 126656

I have 314 contacts in the "Contacts" tab under "personal Folders." I have
458 contacts (all are different) in a sub-folder under "Contacts." I need to
move those 458 to the "Contacts" folder with the other 314. How do I do this?

The main problem I'm having is when I compose a new message, when I click
"TO:" the tab-down menu shows both folders, but if I search for someone and
they're not in the "Contacts" folder, then I have to switch to the other
folder and it is a pain and a waste of time.
