i have Outlook 2007
I've tried many ways. by Changing the "file as" to a nickname, the "to:"
doesn't find that contact. IF I change the "full name" to the nickname, the
"to:" file will find it, but will show the email address with the nickname on
it and not as i had filled it out in the "display as" field.

thanks for looking into this.

Are you changing the file as name or the email address display name?

I've tried to change the "display as" field, but it always resets to as in
the "full name" field. (When I send to a contact, o nthe "to:" field ends
up
showing the "full name", instead of the "display as" name I've tried to
save. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way where I could assign "nick names", so it's easier to
identify
contacts rather going through a list of the same first names or last
names?
each time?

thanks.
