Outlook v2003. As far as properties, I don't quite understand but I can
give
you an example of what its doing. When the name of the business is
American
General Finance it truncates 'American' and just give me 'General Finance'
or the one I just got this morning 'Anything for the Home' and it gives me
'Home' and theirs nothing I can do to fix it

When I put in a new company, the "File As" field puts what it wants to
sometimes truncating part of the name and will not put it as I would
like
it.
How can I fix this? It makes it difficult to look up the correct
business
