Importing Data to an Address Book
When you import a list of addresses into the Address Book, you choose how you want to
file the addresses. The Address Book Import Wizard includes a name rotation feature that
automatically rotates the first and last name so that the last name appears first in the address
list, followed by the first name. You can choose to file the addresses this way, or you can
choose to file the addresses exactly as they appear in the file you are importing.
