How to default to a selected address in contacts?

[DG]

Hello,

I have Outlook at home and work. My setup at home automatically has the
company or full name field selected (highlighted) when I open contacts.
However, my machine at work requires that I press control (I think...but
memory fails)+tab to highlight the company or full name field.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to change this feature. I want
them both to work like home, as when it is pre-highlighted, I can alpha
search with fewer keystrokes.

Thanks for your help.

On each machine, what version of Outlook and what view? On
Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options, what startup folder do you have
specified?

I have the same problem and it doesn't matter which startup folder I choose.
When I go to contacts I have to press "ctrl+tab" to get the first contact
highlighted.

I do know I must have done some change somewhere since it only started to do
this a few days ago.
Thanks in advance.
