Mobile phone number format mask?

You can't. Masking of phone numbers in Outlook is hard coded.

Copying contacts into Word

You can easily save a DL as an RTF file and open it in Word. Make sure you
do all this in your Contacts Folder, never the address book view.

Those are distribution lists that exist in the Contacts Folder (no data
exists in the Outlook Address Book). DL's contain names and electronic
addresses only: nothing else. That's why your question...

Never that I've seen. The "incompatible with current version" message is
only generated by trying to open UNICODE PST files in Outlook 2002 or
earlier. The read only tag or a corrupt PST generates...

Contacts won't stay in "file as" order

State the global preference you set for the File As... field and how the
name elements are parsed in the Full Name dialog. I bet it will explain what
you're seeing.

You post is inaccurate. You are not running Outlook 2003 at home, are you?
You are running an older version and PST files from Outlook 2003 are not

You can't. How phone numbers are masked is hard coded. The manufacturers of
your mobile phone know that. If they expect to synch with Outlook, they must
write the correct software.

That doesn't tell me anything about why you thought the entry would be

No maintenance required. The feature does not just work sporadically as you

One must wonder why you would ever want to do so. DL's are a poor choice for

buggy and unreliable. I would never expect...

What is a "contact list?" Outlook has nothing that fits that description.

You'll have to provide more information since you're there and we're not.
You said some names autocomplete and some that "should" don't. Provide a
clear example.
