Address Book sort order

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm using Word 2003 and Outlook 2003.

In Outlook, I have a contact list in my public folders. When I want to do
an envelope or label and try to insert an address from this contact list, the
Name column is displayed as First Name Last Name ans sorted by first name. I
would like it to display "Last Name, First Name" instead and sort by last
name.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Grace

As the Address Book is actually an Outlook "thingy", try asking in an Outlook
group. In some versions of Office you can't change the sort order at all. In
more recent versions I think you can, but...
