| Hi,
|
| I was wondering if i could get some help from you experts. I have
| entries in my contacts in outlook on my laptop. Just recently i
| bought a new one and i'd like to be able to copy the contacts from
| the old laptop to the new laptop i bought.
|
| I could import the contacts from the old one to the new one but it's
| not imported into the contacts but it creates another contacts folder
| there. What i really want to see is when i click on the contacts tab,
| the whole list will appear in the contacts. I don't want to have to
| choose which contacts i want. Another words, if there is a way to set
| up default to the contacts. So everytime i open up outlook, then go
| to contacts - i can see the list of entries of contacts.
|
| Thank you in advance
