Outlook Name Format Errors
I am using Office Small Business Edition 2003. When I type in a new contact
using the full name box (Mr. Joe Smith) it shows up as Mr. Smith Joe. While I can change the "File As" box to Smith, Joe it still shows up as Mr. Smith Joe in the contact file. When I search contacts for Joe Smith it doesn't show up - I have to search for Smith Joe. Any ideas? Seems life a software glitch. thx

Outlook Name Format Errors
Thanks, Brian, but actually the way I entered the name WAS by clicking the
full name box and filling it in... "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Jim Indy" Jim wrote in message ... I am using Office Small Business Edition 2003.

The field to the right of Full Name is a derived field and enties made in it can be misinterpreted. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Outlook Name Format Errors
I clicked Mr for title, typed Joe in for first name, then Smith for last
name, and hit enter. It immediately showed it as Mr. Smith Joe, exactly opposite of how it should look. The "File As" Box was correct: Smith, Joe. Is there some other place to specify how those full name field settings (which are already fixed as Title, First, Middle, Last) translate when you type them in? Thx.

Of course. Same place you set your File As settings: Tools Options
Contact Options Default "Full Name" order... What did you set? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jim Indy" wrote in message ...
