Default Contact display name

What do you mean by: " honestly think they never intended for anyone to use
the Outlook Address
Book in Outlook 2002"?

A bit of sarcasm? :-)

I used to be involved in working on UI and testing/designing of it. I am
always surprised that in this day and age, most UI is still pretty bad. I
thought MS did usability testing on this kind of stuff? I can't be the only
one who has recipients with more than one a-mail address. Another example
is the calendar. When I open the calendar, it will not go to the current
day. Even if I click on View Got Today. I have to actually click on a
date, and then Goto Today. Many many more examples that in my day I would
have reported as bugs.

You've already discovered the only workaround.
I honestly think they never intended for anyone to use the Outlook Address
Book in Outlook 2002. In all subsequent versions they let you resize the
Outlook Address Book, but that's the only customization that has been
added.

I should add, that the 'Display name' is shown, but you have to scroll
over to see it. I'd rather it be the first column. Maybe the columns can
be re-ordered? I'll re-check the help.

I am using Outlook 2002 on XP Pro.
Several of my contacts have 2 e-mail address. i.e. John at home and John
at work. When I compose a new note and click on To... to find the
recipient, I see John Smith and John Smith. Is there way have it display
as the 'Display as' value? (i.e John@work, John@home)?

Thanks.
