I am using Outlook 2007. When adding contacts to my address book I ran into 2
problems.

Problem 1: The more urgent problem is: I can't get out of Search. When I
open Address Book (either by clicking the book icon, or going to
Tools-Address Book, or control-shift-B), it opens to the Search box. It asks
me to "Type your search keywords and click 'go' to perform a search." If I
search, it works. When I save and close the contact, and open Address Book
again, it opens to the search box. I can't find a way to look at my address
book - I can only see the search box and individual contacts if I search for
them. How do I get Outlook to show me my Address Book?

I've re-started the program. I've rebooted. No change.

Problem 2: Before Problem 1 started, I entered a new contact, but just a
name and phone number - no email address. The contact did not display in the
address book (remember, this is when I could still see my address book). How
can I access the contact info for this contact, when it doesn't appear in the
address book? How can I edit it, or look at the phone number I entered? It's
as if it isn't there. (But I know it is - thinking I must have made a
mistake, I tried to re-enter it and was told there was a contact with
identical information.)

Thanks to anybody who can help.
