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

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.

I tried these steps to import my Contacts list from Windows 7 Contacts to Outlook 2016. Everything seemed to go okay, but I cannot find them in Outlook. Is there a different process to use for importing to Outlook 2016? Maybe I don't know where to look for them, but there is nothing with I try to open the Address Book in Outlook 2016. Is there another place where I should look? Thanks!
