I often have a problem with how OL 2003 puts a contact's name together. I
usually type a person's name, e.g., Dustin A. Hoffman. He then shows up in
the contact as something like Hoffman A Dustin. (No, not Hoffman, Dustin A,
which I guess I could live with) I click on the Full Name thingie and sure
enough the poor guy's name gut mishmashed. I straighten the matter out,
making sure the First Name is in the block for that, and the same for the
last Name. Close that out and OL has ignored me. Or messed it up even
further, although degrees of totally messed up are awfully academic.
So I tried John C. Smith, thinking that ought to be pretty simple. Even
Pocahontas could figure that one out. But no. In the little window his
name looks OK. But click on Full Name and his first name is now C. Smith
and his Last Name is John. But OL is consistent with the wierdness: In File
As he is John, C. Smith. What's up with OL?
