My Contact Display Names in Outlook 2007

[Confused User]

First, let me state I am not as computer savvy as you undoubtedly are, so
please help me in layman terms if possible. I updated to Office 2007 and use
Outlook Connector (most recent version downloaded). I always was able to
have just the display name show WITHOUT the person's email address showing.
Now, even if I go through list one by one and delete the email addresses next
to the name displayed, when I close Outlook and re-open it, the email
addresses are back next to the display name again. What am I doing
incorrectly? Thank you for your help.

There's not enough information here. We have no idea to which view you are
referring nor what field you are trying to change. To what "list" are you
referring? Make sure you specify your mail account type, too.
The Email Display As field format cannot be changed if that's what you're
trying to do. There's no need to.

Is the Contacts folder you're using the one on the Hotmail server or one in a
local PST? What view are you using? Are you referring to the "Display As"
field in the contact records?
