    - Inserting addresses to Word I've set up contacts to include Title. When I insert an address in Word (into a letter, for instance), the title runs into the first name: Ms.Anna When I look at it in Contacts, Full Name Display, it appears correctly: Ms. Anna. I tried going into the Title entry and adding a space after the period, but it makes no difference. Thoughts? Tag: Outlook 07, drop-down values for Contacts using a table view Tag: 126097

    - My contacts are not indexed in Outlook I knew we would not be able to use Outlook for email, but I wanted to use it for a Contact Manager. I entered all of my contacts, and now when searching for a specific one, I cannot search by company name or first name, only by last name. This is very frustrating. There is a message that says Outlook is still indexing my contacts... I tried to force the index by going through "my computer" and this action did not help. I have Outlook 2007, and Vista.

    - Want to make a Distribution List, but no members are listed to sel Recently, my husband and I switched computers. We swapped all files. All of my Outlook contacts are present, my email works, etc. However, I attempted to email out a message to a distribution list and it wouldn't work. It said the contacts wern't available. I thought it was a glitch and so I deleted the list and was going to make a new distribution list. But, when I went to select new members, there are none even though I can see them if I click on contacts. When the box pops up to select new members, the box is empty. If I try to click "show names from" drop down box, nothing drops down (i.e. alternate folders). Help! I know it has got to be something so simple, but I am stumped. Ideas anyone?

    - incompatibility between office XP and 2003 Hello, Daily i get 20 to 30 emails, i add them to DL based on different dates and after adding to DL i use to delete the contacts from address book because i only need email ID to send any promotions in future. It was working fine. I was using office XP. Reason to delete the Email ID from address book after adding to DL is we keep on adding contacts on daily basis and need seperate them date wise. so after adding new contacts to address book it will place itself alphabetically in address book so it becomes for us to search that contact and then add it to new date wise DL so once we add all contacts to DL we delete them from address book so when we add new contacts we come to know that this is newly added and we then add it to new date wise Dl and again delete it from address book. Now i upgraded to office 2003 and the problem is after adding the contact to DL when i delete the contact from address book , the contact from DL is also getting deleted.So how can i recolve this? Or whether we are following any wrong procedure to adding contacts tp DL? thanks and waiting for your cooperation regards SAM Tag: Outlook 07, drop-down values for Contacts using a table view Tag: 126038

    - Shared Contact Folder Permissions I am working on an Exchange Server 2003 with Outlook 2007. A few months ago I created a shared contact folder from a contact name, so additional contacts could be added into this folder; this acts very much like a database in Outlook. I had made myself as the Owner of the folder. I now need to remove one of the contact entries in the folder, but I do not have permission to do so. I cannot remember exactly how I created the folder in the first place, to be able to recreate it correctly with the proper permissions. I did set others up as reviewers of the folder, and some as editors, but I am suppose to be the only one that can delete and entry. This folder is not one of the Public Folders in my list.

    - spaces in email address We have an external email server that allows for addressing email to group names but the group names contain spaces. In our Groupwise address book I was able to create a 'contact' with an email address of "Group Name"@domain.com Double quoting the string allowed GW to treat it as a valid email address. Outlook won't accept the double quotes as delimiters for the group name. I have tried several other characters with no success. How can I specify the group name, including the spaces, in the Email address field for Outlook 2007? Thanks. Tag: Outlook 07, drop-down values for Contacts using a table view Tag: 125981

    - vCard never saves "IM address" or "Display As" (for email) Sorry for the repost but this similar question has not been answered or responded to for 3 months now (from someone else) so I thought I'd take a stab at asking the public myself with my specific needs. When I create a vCard *for signatures* in Outlook 2003, the .vcf file located in the "C:\Documents and Settings\%windows_username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures" folder does not retain the "IM address" or "Display As" field. vCard details are never imported/saved correctly UNLESS I edit the .vcf file with Notepad and code it in manually using keywords. Specifically, I don't know the keywords to add "IM Address" and "Display As" (for email) but I do for others, such as the "Notes" field. Can anyone help with the other two? For notes, I use the keywords "NOTE;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Some text here". Is there any way to do this for "IM Address" and "Display As" for email address also? Please help. Thanks in advance.

    - Look For Dialog Usage in Contacts Folder Hello, Does anyone know of a reference or list of the native Outlook fields that the "Look For" dialog will automatically search in when it is used from one of the contact views, typically address cards or detailed address cards in my case, without having to resort to the "Advanced Find" dialog? I have custom fields that I am populating via Access and the Look For does not seem to search them, which is not surprising, but it also does not seem to search more then just a very few of the standard Outlook fields.

    - Migrating Outlook 2003 Contacts to New Exchange Mailbox I recently acquired a MS Exchange mailbox from my email hosting company and set up wireless Blackberry synchronization. Everything went smoothly except that my Outlook Contacts are not in my new Outlook profile files. Blackberry tech support made me wipe everything off the Blackberry during the setup process. I have exported the contacts from the old file into a .csv file and imported them into the new profile. I also tried to export to a .pst file. After importing I can see my contacts but when composing a new email I don't see them when I click on the "To" button to call up my address book. I looked in the properties and the box is checked to generate Exchange views. They are also not synchronizing with my Blackberry. I do have a backup for the Blackberry made with the Blackberry desktop manager but I can't access this because the Blackberry is set to sync wirelessly now. I don't know how often the sync occurs so I have waited more then 24 hours to see if the contacts showed up on the Blackberry. What have I done wrong?

Hi,

I have created several drop-down list fields for new contacts. They work
fine in a standard form view. However, when I switch to a table view of my
contacts and locate the fields, I cannot use the drop-down values to choose
from. I can input the information manually, but I would rather use the
drop-down list (to minimize mistakes).

Is there a way to see drop-down values for Contacts using a table view?

Thanks,

Haruspex
