FIRST QUESTION: My Outlook version is 2003 (11.5608.5606).
Under tools/options/preferences/contact options/default FULL NAME order is
FIRST(MIDDLE)LAST and FILE AS order is FIRST,LAST.
An example of the problem would be: Bardi Ward in the FULL NAME list is
Bardi Ward, but in the FILE AS list is Ward, Bardi, but if I open the contact
details for her then in the FULL NAME box I have Bardi Ward and in the FILE
AS box I have Bardi Ward, which is how I want them to be.
SECOND QUESTION: is "DERIVED FIELDS YOU CANNOT EDIT DIRECTLY" computer speak
for "IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO COPY AND PASTE A WHOLE COLUMN"
Thanks for any help....David Roper

An answer to your question would require that you post more clearly and
include your Outlook version and preference settings for the fields in
question. Your post contains no actual information. Both "File As" and "Full
Name" are derived fields that you cannot edit directly.

When I change an entry in "FILE AS" to be the same as I have under "FULL
NAME" it keeps changing back to a different order. Also is it possible to
copy & past a whole column?
