Changing the Number of Contacts Displayed On a Page

Initially, your Yahoo! Address Book displays up to 25 contacts per page. You can change the default, choosing between 10, 25, 50, or 100 contacts per page. The default applies to all categories in your Address Book.

 

Here’s How

  1. On the Contacts tab, click the Options link on the top-right side of the page.

    Click the Options link.

    The Address Book Options page opens.

  2. Under the Personalization column, click the General Preferences link.

    The General Preferences page opens.

  3. Select the maximum number of contacts to display per page.

    Select the number of contacts to display per page.

  4. Click the Contacts tab to return to your Address Book.

 

What’s Next

If you have under 100 contacts in your Address Book, viewing them on one page is easy, just set the default number to 100. If you have hundreds of contacts, they will span multiple pages. How your Yahoo! Address Book displays them, depends on the maximum number you’ve set and the number of contacts you have. The next task gives you an overview.
