That is the format most users prefer. If you want to change it back the
familiar name only, then change the Display As field for each Contact.

I guess my address book then was as you state, IMO. I really liked using
that format as my e-mails were addressed to an individual, not an
individual
plus their internet address as well. How can I utilize that format with
Outlook 2007?

It does. You probably weren't using the Outlook Address Book before if
you
were using IMO mode of Outlook 2000. Were you?
In all current versions of the Outlook Address Book, go to Tools E-mail
accounts View or change existing directories or address books Outlook
Address Book Change. Set your sort order there

When I previously opened the Outlook 2000's address book, I would get a
"window" which opened up with the heading of "Address Book". Under
this
heading I had the normal: File; Edit; Tools & Help. Also, under all
this
then I had on the left column the heading "Contacts", in the right
column
I
then had "Name (last name first),; E-mail address; Business phone &
Home
Phone". This window also had "New; Properties; Delete; Find People;
Print
&
Action". Thus my concerns, why doesn't it appear as the old 2000
address
book?

Nothing has changed in Outlook 2007. You probably just haven't
configured
the Outlook Address Book yet. It's the same as all other recent
versions.
Your statement that it is "not in Contact format makes no sense.
Explain
what you mean.

Having upgraded Office 2000 to 2007 Beta 2, and now using Outlook
2007,
am
wondering why address book can not be sorted by last name first?
Also,
why
is it not in contact format?
