I attempted to put the Public Folder in the "Favorites" navagation pane via
the Public Folder "favorites" method. I could not get the Public Folder to
appear in the Favorites Navagation Pane. It did appear in the Public Folder
Favorites folder.
This is normal, expected behavior. There is no Favorites navigation pane. What you're no doubt referring to is the Favorites section of the Mail navigation pane. It shows only mail folders, not contact folders
So how do I get my Publid Folder to appear in the "Favorites Navagation Pane.
You don't. See above. And then look on the Contacts navigation pane, where you should see the PF Fav replica of this contact folder.
I also noticed that if I updated the Public Folder Contacts list that the
same list in the Public Folder "Favorites" file did not auto update with that
info. However, the reverse of that did update on both files. Is that normal
or is there a permission involved on some menu?
That's not normal, unless you're working offline, in which case the Favorites replica won't be updated until your synchronize. Otherwise, both should be the same and are subject to the permissions on the original folder.
When I search the Public Foldercontact list it does not bring up the entry I
am asking for.
In which of the four different possible Outlook search tools were you searching? For what?
My office also has several merge related form files set up in (Office 2000)
Word 2000 that access Excel 2000 database. How do we use the addresses in
the Public Folders contact listing to quickly insert into our Word form files
or final document without the million steps required via the "letter wizard"
etc.?
Start the merge from the public folder using the Tools | Mail Merge command in Outlook.
In playing with different choices I linked a contact from the main contacts
list to the public folder contacts list. How do I unlink that? I cannot
find that option and neither list will allow me to delete that entry.
Open the contact where you added the link. Delete the link. Save the contact.
