Professional Designations
Can anyone tell me if I can include a professional designation or multiple
designations, e.g., M.D., with a contact name and have other fields populate properly? If I enter "John Smith, M.D." as the full name, then the 'File as" field displays by first name rather than last name, and the e-mail "Display as" field shows "M.D. John Smith," which makes it next to impossible to find the name when I am creating a new e-mail. If I omit the comma (for a single designation), the "Display as" field still does not file by last name but by first name. Also, entering multiple designations and using a comma to separate them does not work properly either. Any suggestions?

Why wouldn't you use the suffix field for this?

I can't make it put in the comma if I use the suffix field. How do you make
it John Smith, MD instead of John Smith MD? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Why wouldn't you use the suffix field for this? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "tn office mgr" wrote in message ...

Don't know. Using a comma as separator is no longer the preferred
convention. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "leonolip" wrote in message ... I can't make it put in the comma if I use the suffix field. How do you make it John Smith, MD instead of John Smith MD?
