Default Can I show names, not emails, in distribution list?

Sorry to hear I can't change globally. The Contacts were imported as a .csv
file. They had been in Outlook Express on my previous computer.

There is no way to make that change globally. What's odd is that Outlook
includes the name in the Display As field automatically when you create a
Contact. How did you create these Contacts? Were they imported?

I just did check that and the email is in the Display As fields for
everyone
in my Contacts. So if I change that it appears that my problem would be
solved. Is there a command somewhere that will make that change in my
whole
Contact file or do I have to change it manually in all 945 contacts?

Yes, I agree that it should. Nevertheless, it doesn't. I need to
know
what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change.

OK. I'm using Outlook 2007. I am creating a new DL and I click
"Select Members" from the menu. I then highlight names that reside
in my Contacts Folder and they appear in the list, but they appear
with only the email and not the name. The column that says "Name"
at
the top has the emails, just the same as the column headed "Emails."

The Name field should contain the Display Names of the member
contacts.
It
certainly does for me.
