Problem Printing out Outlook Contacts

[mikejanj]

I'm using Outlook 2007 as part of Microsoft Office Small Business. Today I
tried to print out a contact listing for the first time (installed only a
couple of months ago so I don't know if this has been a problem the whole
time or if my problem "just started") when I print out all my Contacts,
Outlook is merging the names of some of my contacts and using the address of
one of the contacts. Example: Mary Smith Mark Sutter 123 Main st. anytown
, USA 12345 prints out when in fact Mary Smith and Mark Sutter are 2 separate
contacts with 2 different addresses. It does not do this to all of the
contacts so I tried deleting the contacts effected and reinputting them but
it happens again. Also, if I try to print out a single contact, sometimes it
prints out okay and sometimes only the name will print - no address!

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to
correct it? I'm just about ready to just uninstall Outlook and then
reinstall it and manually reinput all my contacts and calendar
appointments/events. I don't have a huge number of contacts input yet. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Two things - may I ask WHY you need to print out a contact list in the first
place, and secondly, un-installing and re-installing will a) not cure this
and b) will not affect any of your Outlook data.

I want to print the contacts (names, addresses, phone#s, and e-mail addresses
if they have one), in a booklet format as a directory of members for my
church.

I have figured out something. When printing, Outlook "merges" a contact
whose "file as name" is too long to fit on one line with the contact
immediately following it. I wanted to print two columns on each page and
assumed that it would print a 2 line "file as" name (it did this in the 2003
version). If I decrease the font or print only one column on the page and it
can all fit on only one line, it no longer "merges" with the next contact.

OK that's fair enough - people do ask about this when printing is not the
best option!
