1036.0. "Where do I store nicknames ?" by WOTVAX::16.194.208.3::warder.reo.dec.com::sharkeya (Who am I now ?) Sun Apr 27 1997 01:19

How do I get nicknames into Outlook. Rather than keep entering long names, 
I want to use nicknames.

Any clues ?

1036.1Using Contacts ?FLASK2::SYSTEMNigel Bridport @REOMon Apr 28 1997 11:1311
	If you use your contacts folder, then you can put in a nickname for
	each contact by viewing the properties of the contact and selecting 
	the "Details" tab.  Near the bottom of the form, there is a nickname
	field you can enter.

	If you want to use nicknames for other Exchange users in your
	Exchange organization, then just use there alias name.
	Exchange will resolve it for you.

    If you want YOUR nickname to show (Jim instead of James) as I did, you
    have to log a HOTLINE call and have some wizard make the change
