Default outlook 2003 should let us search/choose our contact by compan

Ok but it's boring to go back to the contact folder. The existing link on
your new message is made to have direct access to our contacts without going
back to contact folder... they just forgort to let us the option to customize
it.

Outlook has never provided customization of either the Outlook Address Book
nor the autocompletion cache. They are not the preferred venues for
searching for Contacts. The Contacts Folder is and it can be customized as
much as you want.

Using office outlook 2003 SP2 (11.6568.6568) on windowx XP Pro

When you open a new message and you click on "A..." in french, i presume
"To..." in english, it opens the window with all your contacts. In this
window you find the following columns: Name - Full Name - Email address -
Address Type and tht's all.

My first suggestion would be to allow us to classify "A to Z" or "Z to A"
in
any column just by clicking on the column header and to be able to add or
to
delete columns like we can do in our inbox / outbox / sent items
(especially
one...see my second suggestion below).

My second suggestion would be to add a column named "organisation name".
When you classify your contacts by company name and you find it classify
by
name when you are sending an email it's really not easy to find the
correct
email address because sometimes you don't remmember the name of the
contact
in the company. It's easier to remmember the name of the company thant to
remmember the name of all the contacts in this company. And professionnaly
speaking i found the classification by company name very useful.

I was even surprised not to find such an option in this window. I am sure
you can arrange this easily.


Awaiting your earliest feedback,
Kind Regards

Mathieu
