Hi Errol, One of the most important bits of info we need to know about Outlook is = what version, what service pack (if applicable) and whether you are attached = to Exchange server or just using POP3 mail. Basically though, the answer to your question is that (depending on = version) Outlook 'learns' addresses that you've already typed and will offer you those as you type the first few letters. But you can also type a couple of letters and if the address in in your Contacts, hit Ctrl-K for a list of possible matches.

I'm sure there will be many stupid = questions from me so please be kind to the relative newbie. My first (and = meanwhile only) question is the desire to have Outlook complete the address when I start typing a name in the "to" or "cc" box. If the name has been used before outlook gives those options with the letters that are already = typed. Is there a way to make ALL the names with a particular letter to appear = from the contact list when starting to type a letter or name. =20 Errol ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to = mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
