how do I search for duplicate contacts in different folders?
I imported contacts from another contact manager. Sometimes I had different
categories for one client, but the client only showed up once. In Outlook, I made the different categories (I had in the other contact manager) into different folders under "Other contacts", but now I have several clients under different folders. How do I search to find the duplicated contacts if they are under different folders? It only pulls up the folder you are working in.

State your Outlook version and Search method. There are multiple
possibilities to both answers and the permutations are nearly endless. I can think of no reason you couldn't configure both Advanced Find and Instant Search to do what you want. Try it. If you can't, tell us why. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sarah" wrote in message ... I imported contacts from another contact manager.

how do I search for duplicate contacts in different folders?
I guess "search" is not the right word. I am wanting to view all of my
contacts (in the different folders under "Other Contacts") at the same time. I am using Outlook 2007. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: State your Outlook version and Search method.

Clarify what you want to do.

how do I search for duplicate contacts in different folders?
Outlook only displays one folder at a time. There are better ways to
accomplish what you want. For example, run a duplicate checker: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts_dups.asp -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sarah" wrote in message ...

Do an advanced search in Microsoft Outlook. look for contacts in personal
folders (or whatever the top level folder is) leave the "search for word" thingy blank. that should show up a list of all your contacts "Sarah" wrote: I imported contacts from another contact manager.
