Adding "Mr." To Several Contacts at Once

[markcaseyonline]

Hey everyone,

Usually when I use outlook, and I add a contact name in the following
format: "Mr. Bill Gates," Outlook automatically files "Mr." as the
contact's title, "Bill" as the first name and "Gates" as the last
name. All of this is automatic, which I love.

But recently I added a list from Excel, and even though the names are
still written "Mr. Steve Jobs," Outlook doesn't recognize "Mr." as the
title, but rather as part of the first name. So now the contacts have
*nothing* for the title, "Mr. Steve" as a first name, and "Jobs" as a
last name.

So the question is, is there any way to mass edit the "title" field
for these contacts (there are over a thousand of them--doing it by
hand is unappealing), or a way to make outlook recognize the "Mr.
First Last" format as it normally does?

Thank you so much for your help,
mark.

How was the list formatted? If the titles were in the Title field, it should
import the field correctly.
