    - Contacts missing since moving to Exchange We use Outlook 2007 and since we have switched over to an Exchange server, some of our contacts are missing. We did move each persons contacts from their personal contact folder to the Contact folder for their exchange mailbox. Not all but many of each persons contacts are missing. I am not sure what the common link is but it is happening to everyone. We look in the global folder, the individual address books and the contacts lists but don't understand why they are not there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125931

    - Outlook 2007 I just upgraded my computers to Office 2007 from Office 2003. When I used Outlook 2003, my contacts were arranged by categories. With the upgrade to 2007, I still have my contacts and they are still labeled with their category. The problem is that when I create a new contact, I don't have my master category list, just the default list. I also click on the "all categories" but my master categories are still missing. Any ideas? Thanks, Kevin Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125923

    - Copying contacts from the TO: field of a message I received Hi, In Outlook 2003 version, when someone sent me an email message with many of their contacts listed in the To: field, I could right click on them and add them to my address book. I can't seem to do this in the 2007 version. Right clicking opens up hypelink options. Thanks for your help. Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125920

    - Problem sending contact from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 I use Outlook 2007, my wife has Outlook 2003. If she selects a contact and forwards it to me (the only option AFAICS other than New Mail-Insert Item, which seems to do exactly the same thing), I receive the email with not a contact attached, but an eml attachment, which on opening is blank. The item in her Sent Items folder shows a Contact as the attachment. Are we missing something here? Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125906

    - Disabling Telephone Dialling in Outlook 2007 I am an experienced user of Outlook prior to the current version. When I enter a new contact I now get a Pop up asking about my current location's area code etc for dialling. I have entered all the details, even though I do not dial from my PC, but I just get into a dreadful loop that keeps asking me the same questions. When I try to Cancel it kindly tells me that this is unacceptable and Outlook will keep asking me the same questions anyway. As a result I simply cannot even enter a new Contact into Outlook 2007. What on earth am I doing wrong - it shouldn't be this hard... Help! Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125901

    - How do I disable autofil I have several wrong and out of use email addresses on my PC. They can be deleted from Contacts, but when I begin a new mail and the name of the recipient, for several of my friends, I am faced with more than one address. I often choose the wrong one, so i end up sending to all the addresses which autofil supplies, which means all but the correct one bounce back. Not a very efficient way of going on. Cant I just clear out all these saved addresses - and web addresses, too? Outlook from Office 2002. Windows XP. IE7. Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125900

    - Categories unstable So, why does Outlook suck so hard. Somehow all of my categories are a complete mess... I have been using categories instead of contact lists b/c I can put people into multiple categories as I add their contact info. For contact lists, it seems I have to add the contact info, then open each of the contact lists I would like to add them to, and then add them - Argh! However, email people in a category proves to be a complete pain in the... eg. figure out how to group by category, group by category, drag category onto mail tab, ignore error message, then write email (I'm still trying to figure out how to get them into BCC). Anyway, categories have porven to be a complete f'up again by microsoft. Somehow, most people are not in the categories I originally placed them in, I'm only in one of the eight categories I have created. I did move categories all the way to the right and off the screen b/c I was dumping people from a category when I was trying to click on the category next to their name to open the category - seems logical, or that I'd at least get a 'are you want to delete Joe from this category?' I think I sorted by category or something and everyone was placed into one (or a couple times two?? categories), don't know - but half the people in my contacts are no longer in any category and the rest are only in one or two. Looks like I'll have to start over with contact lists and try to determine who should be on which list or maybe I'll go back to using my personal computer (Mac) which actually works.

    - I seem to have 2 Contact Lists and can not use the best one. Windows XP, Outlook 2007 - Office Enterprise 2007 (I think) at work. File 1 = "Address Book: Contacts" is accessed by e-mail and at the top of the Outlook Screen by clicking on an "Open Book" icon or Ctrl + Shift + B. File 2 = "Contacts - Microsoft Outlook" is accessed at the bottom of the outlook screen by clickin on a "Business Card" icon or at the top by "Go" "Contacts". File 1 is a brief list of what I had in 2003. File 2 is a near complete listing of what I had in 2003 and it got this way with me creating new contacts. I created new contacts using the File 1 screen, using "File, New Contact" completing the form and the entry shows up on File 2. I was told of a way to add listings to File 1 a while back and have contacted the man who told me how. My question is, Why do I have two lists. Can I make List 2 inco List 1 without all the typing?

    - Allow recording a birthday without a year Regarding birthdays, in many cases, the only information one has, or that is relevant, is the day of the year, not the year itself. Outlook 2007 cannot accommodate this case; it must assign a year in a Contact's birthday field. To record birthdays without a year, I could choose a flag year such as 1900, which would mean "year unknown" to me, but of course this solution is misleading to anyone who doesn't know the convention. It would be much cleaner if Outlook would simply offer and allow a null value for the year. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Outlook Contacts Lost - Are they gone forever? A colleague is changing PCs and needed her contacts moved from one computer to another. I've done the export exercise in the past without luck. This time, we decided to move her contacts to a separate folder (to preserve the existing contacts in case of corruption) and copy that folder onto a thumb drive. Used the "create folder" option on the drop down menu, created the folder, and when I clicked Okay, only one contact was moved to the new folder. Went to the old folder to try to move the lot, and everything was gone. Only that one contact remained. There was no warning note of "are you sure you want to delete all files" or anything like that; looked high and low; had our system administrator search the server, they are just gone. How is this possible? By the way, this isn't the first time I've lost contacts - in a pc to mac conversion, the import/export feature completely lost them all. What a nightmare.

    - Contact Phone Numbers need resetting Hi, I have a public contacts folder set up in outlook 2000. Unfortunately the phone numbers were typed in the following format + 1 - 232 - 67890 (spaces and dashes as shown). We have now upgraded to outlook 2003 and now when we add new contacts the phone number format is set to +1 232 - 6789, even though we type in the format originally used (BTW the contacts form is moified which stops the numbers being underlined for some reason). The problem I have is that the 1300+ contacts that where already there need changing to match the new format. I have tried changing and reseting the Dialing properties to another country and back to UK, and exporting to PST file and re-importing, but no luck. Does anyone know how to automatically reset the existing phone numbers to the new format please. Thanks Tag: marking contacts private Tag: 125823
