My Outlook cannot handle reversing the name so "File as" is the reverse of
"Full name" when a name has degree letters such as M.D. or Ph.D. Example: When the the "E-mail Accounts" wizard is configured correctly (and it was; I checked it at least 4 times), the "Full name..." field should be Joey Microsoft, M.D. and the "File as:" field should be Microsoft, M.D., Joey or possibly Microsoft M.D., Joey (I tried it with and without the comma.). Essentially, doctors of any kind will always be filed by thier first names. Is this a bug? Whether it is or isn't a bug, is there a way to fix it that a on-non-developer like me would be able to do? Should I forget it and type it in the way I want it? -- Yours Truly, Norm |

Please describe your problem more clearly and more accurately. What do you
mean by "File as" is the reverse of "Full name" ? That could mean anything. What does the Email accounts Wizard have to do with this? What does "cannot handle" mean? Exactly where are names not appearing as you think they should? Always provide your Outlook version when you post a question. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Norm93" wrote in message ...

Sound a little defensive, Russ. No way am I going to waste anymore time on

Defensive? Hardly. Posting a question clearly and accurately is the least
you can do. Saves us both a lot of time. You never mentioned we were talking about Excel. That would have been nice to know. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Norm93" wrote in message ...

Below is a direct quote (copy/paste).
My Outlook cannot handle reversing the name so "File as" is the reverse of "Full name" when a name has degree letters such as M.D. or Ph.D. That tells you 90% of what you need to know if you are as you claim you are; a Microsoft MVP. Maybe that should read "Most Vituperous Putz". Also, each time you reply to my posts, I click "No" to the question at the bottom of the post, "Did this post answer the question?" That could affect your status as a Microsoft lackey, could it not? -- Yours Truly, Norm "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Defensive? Hardly.
