Joe, I think your troubles are the view your contacts are set to. fyi, just like every other outlook piece of info, they are also stored in your pst file.
when in the contacts folder, go to the view menu (alt V), then choose "arrange by" sub menu, then choose "current view" sub menu, and finally here you can set how the contacts will look. the "phone list" choice is the list you're wanting; when you choose it, you get their names in alphabetical order, along with their phone numbers, and if you want to see all the other info, you press enter on the record. this is a little like the calendar; the different views are really different, and the calendar works best (for me), if I use the "pending appointments" current view; which turns it into a list of upcoming appointments, rather than a grid of week or month view of a more normal calendar. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Jo Taliaferro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 12:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Why am I still having trouble with Outlook 2007? Hello, Feels like I'm beating a dead horse but I cannot interact with my contacts in Outlook. Using WE 7.2 and Windows XP. While in the inbox, with nothing selected, I press control-y to go to a folder, I arrow to Contacts, press control 3 and yes, there are contacts there but they are in no particular order, (not in a list view. I don't know what is wrong with my settings nor do I know which address this contacts group refers to. I think it's the .pst folder but I'm not sure from the Help info what to do to correct this. How would I send a screen shot? What's appropriate? Thanks. Rev. Jo Taliaferro If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
