Default How to format the Full Name Field?

I must reformat the "Full Name" field in Contacts to first name last
name, but I cannot locate any instructions in the Help Screens. I don't
recall performing any format instructions during setup. Does anyone know how
to format the "Full Name" field to be first name last name so may
business cards, etc. are displayed correctly?

tools, options, contact options... set the full name order using the top
option. I don't think you can change it for existing contacts, only new
ones, except using VBA.
