Default How to default to a selected address in contacts?

Hello,

I have Outlook at home and work. My setup at home automatically has the
company or full name field selected (highlighted) when I open contacts.
However, my machine at work requires that I press control (I think...but
memory fails)+tab to highlight the company or full name field.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to change this feature. I want
them both to work like home, as when it is pre-highlighted, I can alpha
search with fewer keystrokes.

Thanks for your help.

DG

On each machine, what version of Outlook and what view? On
ToolsOptionsOtherAdvanced Options, what startup folder do you have
specified?

I have the same problem and it doesn't matter which startup folder I choose.
When I go to contacts I have to press "ctrl+tab" to get the first contact
highlighted.

I do know I must have done some change somewhere since it only started to do
this a few days ago.
Thanks in advance.

Disable the "Outlook Today" view as the default home page for your data
file.
