I can't get the correct Name to show on Contact or Address Book

[dundoc]

I just started using Outlook. Importing Outlook Express Address book went
fine with contact cards complete and accurate. Many of those imported
contacts are Dr. Joe Blow in the Name and Display Name format. I can't figure
out how to have this format in Outlook. Typing Dr. Joe Blow doesn't do it..
all I get is Joe Blow. Changing the Display name to Dr. Joe Blow gives it to
me in that column, but the NAME remains Joe Blow. IS there a way to enter the
information on the new contact so that the DR. will be a part of the NAME?

Where is the Dr part when you click Full name button?

i never realized that "full name" button opened an expanded address box. So I
entered a NEW contact using it, and I put the Dr. in the first box, and the
first and last names in correctly. Completed the contact with a fake email
address, etc. It shows in my list as just first and last name... I still
don't get the Dr. in the list, and unless I make the display name Dr. Joe
Blow it still shows up as only Joe Blow in the Disply name. EUREKA!!!! I
made a new card, and this time left prefix blank, made the first name be Dr.
Joe , and it was listed in the correct place with Dr. Joe Blow. I had to
change the Display Name to Dr. Joe Blow and then everything was fine. Thanks
for cluing me in to that Full Name button.... I fifn't realize it was a
button at all.....
