I have been synch-ing my addr-book between Outlook (from Office 2000
Premium)
and a PDA (Palm-OS). So, my approx 100 people, with their email addr and
some with other data (e.g.phone number and street addresses) were located in
both the Outlook addr-book and the Palm.
So, the other day, Win-XP got totally corrupted.
I've recovered from that...a brand instance of the OS is now in place,
and I struggled and finally got Office 2000 to finally install and work
(a battle in its own right).
I re-installed my Palm-OS software, so I can again 'synch' from its
USB-cradle
with the new bare-instance of Outlook, and when all the people-data (street
addrs
and email-addrs) when back into Outlook without a hitch.
I thought I was home free. But, alas, no. When I try to 'refer' to any of
these
'contacts' in an outgoing email, Outlook looks into something called a
'personal address book'. But, I want it to look in the 'contacts' list
(which I now realize must be a different ADDITIONAL entity, NOT to be
confused with a personal-addr-book. The 'help' info will allow me to
'convert' a personal-addr-book into a 'contacts' thing (folder,list,
whatever-it-is).
But, I want to go IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. Or, copy the data from 'contacts'
to 'personal-addr-book' or ...
Hell, YOU tell ME what I want to do. (It's hard to look up stuff in help
when you realize you don't even really understand the various objects or
what they're called.
How do I solve my problem?
TIA...
