You can change the Display Name to whatever you prefer in the Contact
Record's "Display As" field.
It's not of as much consequence as you think.

When I compose a message in Outlook, the addresses in the TO line that I
have
picked from a list are shown as email addresses. (For example I type
"pat"
and push check names or send and the computer shows me various patricias
and
pattersons for me to choose from.) I am used to and prefer the way they
were
shown in Outlook Express, as the name associated with that email address.
Can I get Outlook to do this?

Some addresses are autocompleted and those show up as both name and
address,
which is fine.
