Problem with name field
 
I recently imported contacts from Outlook into Outlook Express. The Name in
Outlook included: Title, First Name, Last Name.

In Outlook Express however, it appears that there is no separate Title field
to link with the Title field from Outlook. Is it possible to create a Title
field or any other new fields for the Address Book in Outlook Express (such
as Other Address, City).

Having the Title in Outlook Express is important to me, so that if I have to
export the contacts from Outlook Express back to Outlook, the Title would
remain.

Thanks for your assistance

Your best bet is to first export Address Book as a CSV file and examine its
formatting. Now export the OL data to a CSV file, reformat it so that it
matches the Address Book formatting, and then import the CSV file.

You can't create fields in the OE address book (WAB).

Although the OE address book has a Title field, it isn't one of the
fields that you can export.

If you intent is to move back to Outlook, you might instead want to keep
the contacts there and instead configure OE to share the Outlook
contacts.
