Of course. The address book is just another view of your Contacts Folder.
All you need to do is configure it correctly.

Russ,
Thank you for your time and effort, they are really appreciated.
I have already done this instruction set but did it again just now.I suppose
that this would work if I were to add new names. Unfortunately, this does not
display the names that I mentioned previously that are within the "contacts"
button just above "tasks" and below "calendar".



Forgive me, but where in the "Outlook UI" have you seen the term "Contact
As I mentioned previously, I'm just trying to use the nomenclature that I
see in OL. I see "contacts", "distribution list",.....in the drop down of the
address book when adding a new entry.

I understand that. Thank you. As far as "Contact list". I'm just trying to
use the nomenclature that I see in the Outlook UI. Forgive me if I use
terms
incorrectly, I am among those (there seem to be many)that have a hard time
with the realm of (address books, contacts, distribution lists) within
Outlook.
Now, I have a "list" of people with phone numbers,addresses and email
addresses. That list can be seen if I navigate to the "contacts" button
that
is located in the left pane below "calendar" and "mail". I would like that
list, or the info contained in that list to be made available by hitting
the
"address Book" button in the toolbar. Is that possible without re-typing
all
of the information that is contained there?

The term "contact list" has no specific meaning in Outlook. What do you
mean
by it?
You create Contacts in a Contacts Folder in Outlook. You should never try
to
create Outlook contacts via a third party synch program. If you have
questions about your synch program, direct them to whoever supports that
program.

In the past, I have made a couple of contact lists and tried to make a
couple
of distribution lists. I now want to get rid of all of those and start
fresh.
I have a motorola cell phone and have used "phone tools" to make a new
outlook contact list . Outlook cannot find it I have gone into
toolsemail
accountsadd/remove directories and mostly got rid of unwanted lists.
When
i
use phone tools to try to create a new list, it still navigates to the
old
(deleted?) directories.
If I choose "contacts" in the left pane of the UI I see the list that I
would like to use as my address book but cannot figure out how to tell
OL
to
do this.
Thanks for any help.
