Change default address list
I’m having multiple address lists in Outlook; 1 is our internal list (Global Address Book), 1 is my business contacts and 1 contains my private contacts.
When I bring up the Address Book in Outlook, by default it shows our internal list. However, I work a lot more with my business contacts in my Contacts folder.
Is there a way I can make this the default?
When you use Outlook without an Exchange Account, the default address list when bringing up the Address Book and when pressing the To, Cc or Bcc buttons is your Contacts folder. When you use and Exchange Account, the default is the Global Address List.
You can change the default via the following steps;
- Open the Address Book via Tools-> Address Book… or by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+B
- In the Address Book dialog choose Tools-> Options…
- Use the dropdown list for “Show this address list first” to your preferred address list
- Press OK.
- Close the Address Book dialog.
