Many of my contacts in the UAE work in companies known by their initials. ADNH (Abu Dhabi National Hotels), ADMA-OPCO and ADCO are just a few examples. Many of these contacts have become corrupted to Adnh, Adma-opco and Adco. Others, like ADNOC Fin have been only partially corrupted. Many are uncorrupted. Similarly, my use of “PO Box” in the first line of the address has become, almost universally, “Po Box”.
I have tried to correlate this with an entry’s age (many of these entries are at least 10 years old), but I really don’t have accurate data to work with because I periodically correct an address if I am going to use it, eg printing an address lable.
Has anybody any idea what is going on and how to prevent it?
BTW, I manually archive Outlook entries using one of Woody’s techniques which involves renaming the current .pst file, renaming a blank .pst file and dragging the entries I want to keep to the new .pst file. This has a concommitant disadvantage that the address book icon can’t find the contacts in the new file. Any ideas?
