Making Contact Lists Available for Lookup

Contacts lists that other users have shared with you will not automatically appear in the Show Names list as an Outlook Address Book. You will want all Contacts lists available when you are using lookup options while composing messages and inviting attendees to meetings.

To show a contacts list as an Outlook Address Book:

1. In Contacts, right-click on the user’s Contacts folder in the My Contacts section.
2. From the menu that appears, select Properties.
3. In the Contacts Properties window, click on the Outlook Address Book tab.
4. On the Outlook Address Book page (see Figure 1):
   
   
   • Click to check Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book.
   • In the Name of the address book box, enter a descriptive name for the address book.
   • Click OK.

5. Repeat these steps for each Contacts folder that has been shared with you.
