List ALL Outlook 2007 Contacts

[John Schneider]

Just upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007 on an XP Pro SP2 machine. I
want to review my contacts list and delete some old ones. When I go to Tools
-> Address Book, then select Contacts, the screen is blank. Looks like the
screen forces you to do a search on a specific character/string. I want to
see ALL of my contacts. Tried searching on an asterisk, but it returns no
results. I know there are entries in the contact list, since I can search on
individual letters and get results that way.

Is there no way to list ALL contacts?????

Is your Outlook Contact folder marked as an address book? Do you have the
Outlook Address Book service installed?

Finally figured this out. When I bring up the Address Book window, the "More
columns" radio button was active. When I click on the "Name only" button,
everything showed up.
