How do I set a default address list in MS Outlook 2003?
Setting a Default Address List Outlook will display your default address list whenever your Address Book is opened. Depending on your preferences, the default list may be your personal contacts, the Global Address List, or any other list that you prefer. To change the default list, follow these steps: • Open your Address Book from the Outlook Inbox by selecting the Tools menu, then Address Book (or press Control-Shift-B). Your default address list will be displayed. • From the Tools menu, chose Options. The Addressing dialog box will appear. • The pull-down menu titled “Show this address list first” will allow you to select which address box will be displayed by default whenever opening your address book. Set this to your preferred list such as “Stockton-Employee” or “Outlook Address Book – Contacts” for your own personal list. • Optionally, you may want to review the settings for “Keep personal addresses in” and “When sending mail, check names… in the following order”.
