Wait a minute! I swear when I changed this I restarted Outlook and then
restarted Word and did not see it resort.

Now that I just went back in, it is resorted (by last name!!!)

Thank you. I don't know what I did wrong last night, but it's working now!

In the Letters and Mailins section of Word 2003, the little address book
icon
is linked to my Outlook 2003 Contacts list. It shows the contacts
alphabetically, but
displays them by the Name field (so first name first), rather than the
File
As (last name first) field. Is there a way to change that? I'd rather
look
them up alphabetically by last name because there are times I don't
remember
what the first name is. How can I change this?

Thank you.
