When putting in my contacts I have them being displayed as "Last Name, First
Name" (In the contact section)

When I go to send an email the box that brings up the contacts brings them
up as "First Name, Last Name".

How do I get that section to bring them up "last Name, First Name"??

If it shows as Will Adams (no comma) - The Address book uses either First
Last or File As format, selectable in Tools, accounts, Address book tab,
Change (outlook 2003/2007).
