Hi, if you use control shift C to get to the address book. Also, when in a new message, if you start typing the name by which an address is listed in the address book, or the email if that is how you have listed it then tab once and I have had it complete the address that way. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of stephen faill Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 11:49 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: help with windows live mail hello list. ok i have finally upgraded to windows live mail 2009 version billed 14. i am finding it quite a bit different from the favourite outlook express and the likes. my question is this: i can not find anywhere to add my contacts into, like the address book in xp, and because of this i am, at the moment, having to remember all my e mail addresses as windows live is also not letting me type in the the "to" field and predicting what e amil address i am trying to write. so, this is really a double barrelled question i have here. 1. where is my address book, and 2. how do i get predictive typing on? any help is greatly appreciated. regards. stephen faill -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
