Hi, in Outlook if you go to tools>address book>tools options>change to "show this address first", should be (select) contacts >close, then open a new message and the "To" display should now show your contacts.

Hello everyone! I am brand new to the forum and I hope my note finds you doing well.

I have Outlook 2007 on my computer at work and I recently put information into Contacts. When I started a new email and clicked on "To" I was aghast to see that all my Contacts appeared TWICE. Upon closer examination, I saw that Outlook had created one Contact with all the information and the main business phone number, and then for reasons I cannot fathom, it created a second one just for the Business Fax. I deleted every one that had been created for the Business fax, but found out later that this also removed any occurrence of a business fax number in my Contacts.

This is MADDENING! Does anyone know why this is happening? Perhaps you have a fix or work around?

I look forward to everyone's replies, kind regards,
Cat

You should start your own thread to get quicker response otherwise it can go un-noticed.
