I am using windows 7 home and succesfully imported my contacts into the contacts folder in the users folder. My contacts appear with first name followed by family name and I cannot find any option to reverse this order ie surname first. Can anyone advise? thanks

G'day Brian - welcome to SevenForums.

With Outlook open, click on File, then Options. On the panel that opens, click Contacts, and then change the selection as shown in the attached image.
