File as in address book

[Guest]

Outlook 2007, Windows XP Pro with service pack 2: How do I file contacts as
"last name, first name"? I selected that format using pull down menu on
contact properties page however first name - last name format remains and
doesn't change ot last - first.

Hi ibexx

have a look on this site:

"Arrange contacts in last name, first name order"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010565141033.aspx

Maybe it helps.

Hi ibexx,

sorry, it was the wrong Outlook version.

This link is for Outlook 2007:

"Display the Contacts list in last name, first name format"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102193641033.aspx?pid=CH100622101033

Maybe it helps.

Oliver, Thanks so much. I opened the 2007 link, followed the instructions and
the address book is now in last, first format.

I have a similar question.
I would like to display the detailed adress card with the "Lastname,
Firstname (Company)" on all the card headers with out going into each card by
hand and changing the "file as" format.
If I copy the contact list out to a ".csv" file format is there a filed that
cab changed to show this information the same way?
Current display:
Doe, Mr. John
Desired Display:
Doe, Mr. John
Widgets Co.

Thank You

You have to run code to change the File As... field globally:

This is very close. There seems to be a couple of missing steps or there is
enough difference between 2002 and 2003 Outlook that this fails for whatever
reason.
Using the commands as "landmarks" or "milestones", there is enough
difference that the instructions are close, but not concise enough to get the
desired result.
(Check Step 2 to 3 after heading “How to Design the Custom Form†for
example. Section 4, item d. is ambiguous.)

I have tried it four times with the same results (1 Message, 3 Contacts)

I appreciate the effort. Thank You.
