Sue: it ALSO is used by Word 2003 in creating envelopes. This makes the
automatic insertion of the email address even MORE problematic, as I do not
want to print mailing labels and evenlopes with email addresses on them.
Why hasn't Microsoft fixed this to allow us to CHOSE the "display as"
characteristics of our Contacts? Where do we go to demand this? There are
hundreds of posts about this dating back to teh Office 2003 change that did
this....

No, that's not what it's for at all. It's to show a display name on messages that you **send** not receive.

I'm assuming that the "Display As" line in the contacts page that you fill
out is to show that name or nickname in the from line of an incoming email.
For some reason it does not seem to work for all my contacts. Could someone
point me in the right direction.
I'm running winXP and outlook 2003.
Thanks in advance,
