RE: Outlook

Hello Rynette,

Actually, I am using Outlook 2002 and it does not seem to be any better with
JFW than 2000. I don't think I am going to upgrade to 2007 anytime soon, so
hopefully JFW 8 will fix this problem.

Take care,

John

    Thanks for the explanation.  I like to understand.

 

People to whom I send e-mails regularly are in my address book.  So Outlook
does not get the opportunity to "try" to remember and auto complete their
addresses.  

 

From what you are saying, it seems as if this is a blessing.  I would hate
sending a "personal" e-mail to the wrong person!

 

From what Chris wrote, I think we now will have to accept that Microsoft
Outlook 2000 just does not have this luxurious function of firstly auto
completing and secondly, when it does auto complete, to do it  correctly.

Hello Rynette,

You keep the same hours I do. I also get just the name of the person and not
the full email address in the to field. However, this only happens if the
person's info is stored in the address book. If it is a person I email a lot
but have not saved their information in the address book, their address
still comes up after the first three letters are typed in the to field. That
is, if there are no other people whose addresses begin with those same three
letters.

   Sometimes if I start to type a person's name in the to field, I get the
wrong person because JFW is not speaking the completed name or address. For
instance, if I want to send a message to Steve, I have to type S T E V
because typing S T E might send a message to Stephanie.

    Finally, JFW seems to read auto completed names when I type them but
rarely reads an auto completed email address.

Sorry to talk so long.

Take care,

John
