Address Book
 
I am using Outlook 2003

Could you tell me how I can use my CONTACTS list as a Contacts in the
Address Book.

What are the steps I need to do to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Address Book
 
If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.

Address Book
 
Right-click the contacts list, go to Properties, choose the "Outlook
Address Book" tab, and check the box next to "Use as an e-mail Address
Book" (or something like that)

If you don't see that tab or it's greyed out then you don't have an
Outlook Address Book installed and you need to go to Tools | E-mail
Accounts | Address Books (as I recall) and add a new one.
