Update Full Name & Display As fields for multiple contacts

[kiawah]

I have many contacts with titles (Mr., Mrs., Ms.) included.
When sorting these contacts use the title rather than the name.
Is there a way to remove the title from ultiple contacts at the same time?
When sending emails, I would like to display both the recipient's name and
email address. Is there a way to update the Display As field for multiple
contacts
at the same time rather than one at a time?
Thank you for your help.

You really want to remove the Titles from the database? Wouldn't it make
more sense just to sort your view the way you want? Outlook will sort a view
however to tell it to.

Unless you can find someone who has written the code to do so, you cannot
change the Display As field globally from the GUI.

Mr. Valentine,
Thank you for this information. I have sorted it by Last Name, but this adds
another
column limiting viewing space (I would like to see full names). Once again,
is there a way to remove the title from multiple contacts at the same time?
It would not be a problem if I had perhaps 100 contacts, but I have over 1400.
As for the Display As field, I don't know anyone who has written code for this
change (I don't suppose many OL users do). Perhaps you could send this as a
suggestion for the next OL update.
