For users who use a personal Contacts address book and have a departmental one also may find it useful to have look-up information available for the non-default address books. Here's how to manage your address book in Outlook:

• Open the Outlook Address Book by going to the Tools menu and selecting Address Book (or Ctrl+Shift+B).
• In the Address Book view go to the Tools menu and select Options...
• Now you should be able to edit which address list should show up first, where to hold your personal contacts (for instance if all your contact entries go to a department-wide list), and finally also gives you the ability for the lookup order (say if the department list has entries which supersede the GAL).

One other Outlook Address Book tip: if you have an address list that doesn't show up as an Outlook Address Book, right-click it and go to Properties. Then click the Outlook Address Book tab and make sure the checkbox "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is checked. Any address list you wish to hide would just require removing this checkbox.
