How to Use Contacts File?

[Richard Neville]

I want to forward an existing e-mail to someone for whom I have a contact
file. When I click on the "open book" icon next to the "To" box, the "Select
Names" menu lists "Personal Address Book." But I want to use the Contacts
file and must select it from under "Outlook Address Book" in the menu's
drop-down list.

How can I get Contacts to appear as the default choice in the "Show names
from the" box? I've tried changing the choices in the "Mail" control panel,
but this just allows me to alternate between "Personal Address Book" and
"Outlook Address Book."

[Tools] [Address Book]
then from Address Book, [Tools] [Options]
Set "Show this address list first" to Contacts.under "Outlook Address Book"
And you probably want to shuffle the check names order to look in Contacts
first.

then from Address Book, [Tools] [Options]
Set "Show this address list first" to Contacts.under "Outlook Address
Book" And you probably want to shuffle the check names order to look
in Contacts first.

And, in addition to that, the OP should remove the Personal Address Book
service from his or her profile, since Outlook doesn't need it any way.
