I have. For example, for John Doe, I have John in the display as field.
But, when I type John Doe in the To field of an e-mail, it puts the entire
John Doe . I want it to just display John.

I have just upgraded to office 2003 and i have the display name field
filled in on all of my contacts. Sometimes when i send an e-mail the
display name shows up and sometimes it is the persons name plus their
e-mail address. Is there a flag for this? I want it to always use
the display name only.

What you'll see in that field is whatever is in the "Display As" field of
the Contact.item. Modify the contact record to contain your desired Display
As string.
