Default Only some contacts show in Outlook Address Book

I recently exported all my contacts to excel in order to eliminate some old
ones. I reimported the smaller list to my empty Contacts folder and enabled
the Contracts to show in Address Book. Only about 1/4 of the contacts are
showing up in the Address Book now. I can't find any reasons why these are
showing up and others are not.

thanks

Default Only some contacts show in Outlook Address Book

I answered part of my problem. I found that even though I exported to Excel
and imported from Excel without changing the column headers I needed to map
the fields on the import. The Address book was reading the email type field
which I didn't have mapped right.

Now, my question has changed. Address Book shows all the contacts that have
email or faxes but I would like the Address Book to show ALL the contacts b/c
my ipod synchs with the Address Book and not the Contacts.

Thoughts on this?

Thoughts?
The Outlook Address Book does not exist. The only purpose of the Outlook
Address Book is to display the electronic addresses that reside in your
Contacts Folder so you can send messages. No programs synchronize with the
Outlook Address Book. They only synchronize with Contacts Folders.
