Outlook 2003 question

[gizbug]

What is the difference here?
WHen I go in Outlook, I click on address book, and all my names are listed under "Show names from the contacts." If I change that to show the Outlook Address book, it's empty. Did I put my names in the wrong area?

Putting the names of people into Contacts is the right thing to do. Contacts is where you store the email/phone/address information of your colleagues and friends. You can include your Contacts in your address book by right-clicking the "Contacts" folder, selecting "properties" and choosing include this in Outlook Address book. An address book is a larger list of email addresses from which you can select to send an email to. An Address book can also include Distribution lists.
