Exporting Excel Contacts to Outlook - Want to Change the Display
I've imported a file successfully to Outlook but want to change the default
setting from Last Name, First Name to Last Name, First Name (Company). In Tools - Options, I had changed the Contact Options for New Contacts to Last Name, First Name (Company) and then imported but the contacts still are displaying Last Name, First Name.

"Default setting?" To which field might you be referring?
If you are referring to the File As... field, your settings will not apply to Contacts you import, so you'll have to change them yourself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "MKC" wrote in message ...
