Default "Displa As" name in Contacts

In Outlook 2003: Has there not yet been a "fix" for being able to chose the
display name on contacts? Like most people I'd prefer to use a name, not an
email address or name-and-email. In my contact list you see display names
shown in a variety of different formats. Just name, just email, and combined
forms. How do we fix this other than one at a time for a thousand names?

You may find ContactGenie Toolkit of interest - one of the functions allows
you to pick from a variety of EDA formats.

One thing to be aware of, when you change the email address of any contact,
Outlook is going to re-populate the Email DisplayAs field according to its
rules.
