Address book

[tracker141]

In older versions of Outlook you could sort the address book by last name. Is that possible in the new version. Also is there a way when you click the To button in an email to only display email address, I don't need fax numbers and all that other crap.

The Outlook Address Book can be sorted by "FN, LN" or by the File As field.

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:

I have my Contact list sorted Last, First name but I cannot find any
way to sort the Address book this way. The Address Book always comes
up First Last name. I am using Outlook 2003 also.
