Default "Display As" has Gotten Messed up - Question

Is there a script to make all "Display as" fields just First name last name?

I do not know why but some display as fields show completely wrong names!

TIA

Thanks

Had found this and it worked.

Distribution lists messed up but I will just rebuild them manually I guess.

One more question please Diane?

Why did it insert a blank line in the address field under city and state in
detailed address cards?

Did you try resetting the view to see if they go away? I've only every seen
extra lines like that when I customized the view.

The zip code is in the country region field and the country region field
has the zip code in it.
Weird. Don't know how this happened.
Any way to fix this and swap the data in the fields?

I don't know of any macros ready to run. Things like this are usually
easiest ot change in Excel - export, swap columns and import.
