Sorting Addressbook

[Jim Kellett]

Can't make Office XP addressbook sort by last name (Contacts window IS sorted
by last name)

You should be able to change that here: Tools menu > Email accounts >
View/Change existing address books > Click Next > Highlight Outlook Address
Book > Click Change

it! thanks!

Hi: I tried the suggestion with no difference. I only see one field for full
name when entering a contact into the address book. Although Ientered last
name follow by first name, sorting is inconsistent making the address book
completely unsatisfactory. I'm using Outlook 2003

You never enter a contact using the Address Book interface. You enter
contacts in the Contacts folder.
