Default How to add or get other contact directories to Outlook?

I can't get my other contact directories added to Outlook. When you
create/reply/forward a message, none of my other contact directories show up.
BUT when you go to "Contacts" (ICON at bottom left side of the page), you
can see all my directories I had created. I just got a new laptop and the
support staff can't figure this out.

Clarify what you mean by "Contact Directories." Try to use one of the same
terms Outlook uses.

In my "Contacts", I have contact lists (directories, as I call them) under
the "Contacts" list. For example, I have contact lists named: Vendors,
Tenants, Insurance, etc. These contact lists show up when I click the
"Contacts" at the bottom left hand corner to display "Contacts". But when I
click "Reply" or "Forward" or "New" email, click on the "To" or "Cc", to list
the contact lists, only the main "Contacts" list shows up. The other contact
lists do not appear. I know this can be changed, because the technical at
work changed my PC out with a new one and had to come back and figure it out.
But of course, he does not want to share this info with me outside the
office. Thanks.

Not much better. So you call them "directories." What would the rest of us
call them? What are they? Categories? Distribution Lists? Separate Contact
Subfolders?
Just tell us what they are instead of what you call them. If you don't know,
then at least tell us how you created them so we can figure out what they
are. If they are separate Contact folders, just enable them as email address
books in their properties so they will appear in your address book view.
