Office Customization Tool (OCT) 2016 Help: Modify Address Book Settings dialog box

Applies to: Office Professional Plus 2016, Office Standard 2016

Configure the default way in which Outlook keeps the offline Address Book updated. Select among the following options:

  • Download changes since last Send/Receive - Outlook downloads only the changes that have been made to the Address Book since the last Send/Receive. This generally takes less time to download than downloading the entire Address Book.

  • Full Details - When downloading the Address Book, Outlook copies all of the details for each entry.

  • No Details - When the address book is downloaded, Outlook copies only essential information, such as the name and e-mail address for each entry. This takes less time to download, but address details aren't included in the offline address book. This is a legacy option supported by Outlook Address Book (OAB) versions 2.0 and 3.0. If Outlook connects to a server that supports OAB 4.0 or later, the full details will be downloaded even if this option is checked.
