  1. "File as" field for Microsoft People


    Using Google Contacts there's a "File As" field, which is basically a display name which overrides Name and Surname fields.


    This way I can save someone however I want nicknames are really common in my country and check inside my contact app if I don't remember his name.


    The problem with Google Contacts is that this function is badly implemented for the mobile application and the "File as" field is completely ignored, that's why I was thinking of switching to Microsoft People.


    The problem is, I cannot find such a feature, but it seems strange to me that Microsoft has added fields like "Yomi Company" and not one as useful as that.


    Am I missing something?


    Thanks in advance, Simone.

    Fields in Contacts/People

    Some of the contact details in my Microsoft Outlook 2013 have not transferred to my new Nokia Lumia 530 device, and vice versa. I keep my contacts all synchronized across devices by using Microsoft Exchange, which I'm very happy with. However, it appears
    that some fields in Outlook, do not exist on the 'People' app on my Lumia phone (e.g. Other), and some contacts fields within my Lumia 'People' app do not exist in Outlook (e.g. Mobile 2). Can anyone help?

    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

    "File as" field for Microsoft People

    Audio Peripherals Field @ System specs!

    I have 3 pair of headphones I use daily .-.
    why the objection anyway
    nobody is forcing you to use or even suggesting it "replace" the current field
    its not like we have a limit on how many fields the site can have
