how do i display email address not name?

[Sam]

I want the email address to show, not the name. My address book keeps
defaulting back to the name.
Outlook 2007

you'd need to replace the display name with the address.

See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/emaildisplayname.htm for VBA to make
the change.

Thank you for your try.

I have changed them from name to email, but they keep defaulting back to the
name.

When you open a Contact record, under the contact's general information will
be a "Display As" field. You must change that field so it contains the mail
address.

 

[Sam]

I have done that and it returns to the name on its' own. gremlins i suspect!
Maddening!

where are you seeing that - in the display name field of an open contact? If
you see it when you start typing names, it's not the contact.

If the contact is changed, are you syncing with a device?
