"To" and address book

When writing an e-mail at work, I click the "to" and the "select names" box
appears. On the right hand side, instead of saying "contacts" and allowing
me to choose who to send it to, mine says "global address list", and
underneath that the option of "contacts" appears. I have to remember to
select "contacts" before looking up a name. Is there any way to set this
automatically to just say "contacts" when the "select names" box appears?
Thank you for your help.
 
Depending on your Outlook version, which you did not include, open your
address book and under tools, change the dropdown to your preferred contact
list.

In the address book, click Tools>Options and change the "Show this address
list first" drop-down.
