Make sure you're using a Navigation Pane view that shows Contacts, like the
Contacts or Folder List views.

Then, how do I get my contacts to be my email
address book?

Click the Folder List button at the bottom. That will show all your
folders. Here are a couple of a pictures of what the icon looks like. It's
at the bottom left of the main Outlook window.

Now have the contacts in my Address book. Thanks.

But, the list shows up alphabetized by First name. I have selected last,
first but it doesn't work.

I believe I did it all as you said. When I reopen the change dialogue box it
shows last, first but when I open the address book through To in an new
email, names are still first last and alphabetized that way.

Thanks, Brian: I let it sleep overnight and in the morning names were last
name first. I guess it was just tired.

Thanks for your help
