When I create an e-mail (I use Word 2003) and go to an adress book to select
names I want to see the name in Last Name, First Name format so I can find
people more easily (the actual display name can be First Name aaaaaalst
Name). I've checked all the various help options and no luck.

I've recently had to re-install all my softeware. Prior to that my adress
book (same set of contacts) appeared Last Name, First Name. What can I do?

Any suggestions?

Go to Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or
address books Outlook Address Book Change… Set your sort order there
Restart Outlook.

Russ, thanks for getting back so quickly. One problem -- When I click on
View or change existing directories or address books the next screne does NOT
have OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK as an option. It doesn't appear anywhere on the
page.

Now what do I do????

Click the Add button, choose Additional Address Books, click Next, select
Outlook Address Book, click Next, then Finish. Stop and restart Outlook.

Brian, I never got notification of your response so I do apologize for not
responding. I followed your suggestion and, after I closed and re-opened
Outlook, I tried to send a new e-mail. When I opened my address book it was
still showing the names with the first name then last name format. Any
additional ideas?

Russ gave you the only other answer. Since you say you followed my
suggestion, you must have not set the sort order when you re-added the
Outlook Address Book service. Perform the steps Russ stated.
