Hi, I hope the following suggestion is what you are looking for: 1. Press alt + t to open the tools menu. 2. Arrow down to "select Recipients" and press enter or just press the R key. 3. You will have your address book available. Tab 3 times and you will be placed in the tree view of their names. 4. From there you can do one of the following: a: Highlight the first name you want. Then using the control key + space bar you can select additional people as you want. or b: If you have quite a few names to select then try this. Highlight the first name you want. Then press control + end to select the entire list. 5. Once you have the list of people you want press the tab key over to whatever field you want these names to be placed. Such as to:, cc:, or bcc:. There you will find a button appropriate for each field. Press the space bar. Note the short cut key combo for each field for future reference. 6. Tab once and you will be placed in a tree view of the names you selected. if you used option B above or added a name there you wished not to send it to, just press the delete key. This will remove that person from the list but will not delete it from your address book. 7. Tab over to ok and press enter. All of the names you selected should be in the appropriate field. rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Tipka Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 2:52 PM Hi friends, When I go to send an E Mail to several people I don't always remember who I want to send it to, having over 150 names in my address book. I'm aware of how to make a group list, but I don't always want to use those lists. Is there a way of starting a new message and then accessing my address book and using a key stroke to add the names I go by as I arrow down through the list of names in the address book. I'm using Out Look Express. Thanks for any help.
