While I have my own contact folders, most employees at our firm are listed in
the Global Address book, probably because these are entries from Active
Directory.
It's just awful that Microsoft has not updated the Address Book feature of
Outlook to allow an end user to:
* Select the columns to display.
* Select which columns to sort by (more than one, e.g., Department and Last
Name)
* Hide certain entries (e.g., Distribution lists and resources like
"Conference Room 12")
Moreover, just like Outlook has a preview pane for e-mails, the address book
should have an optional preview pane so that highligthing an entry can
display details about that person, without having to click to launch a
separate dialog.
It seems to me that revaming the Address Book feature is long overdue. Your
advertising says Office has evolved. Maybe, but not this part of it.
Thanks for listening.
