Importing Contacts

[Richard]

When I import contacts, the names appear as the default "Last, First" even
though I have my options setting to "First Last". It is annoying because I
imported my entire contacts list from work and I have hundreds of names I
have to fix. Is there a way to switch more that one contacts from"Last,
First" to "First Last" at a time?

Yes. See this article:

It works for all versions of Outlook.

I followed the instructions exactly and did it twice. When I open my form I
get a "Script Error" Syntax error Line no: 1" then I close the error pop-up
and my form opens, I click a desired button and nothing happens. I
copy/pasted the code into the script editor, What am I doing wrong?
