I add a LOT of contacts to my Outlook each week. I want the "Display As" for my contacts to be their "First Name Last Name <email address>". Right now it's just their email address. I add so many contacts it's really a lot of time for me to change that for each individual person.

How do I change the default?
 
The default is 'full name (email address)' when you create contacts in outlook, like this:




mary contrary (mary@here.com)




If you aren't seeing that, how are you importing or creating them?




if you really mean you want




HTML:
mary contrary <mary@here.com>





with the brackets, you'll need to use a custom format - see Bulk change display name format
