Default autocomplete e-mail addresses


I am trying to help a blind friend learn to use Outlook 2000. He has been using OE and when he starts to type an e-mail addresses in the "to" field on a new message, it automatically complete's the address. In Outlook, I cannot find a way to turn on this feature. Anyone know if OUtlook 2000 will do this??

Default Re: autocomplete e-mail addresses

Outlook 2000 doesn't do auto-complete. It has a feature called
auto-resolution. If you enter part of a name or a nickname then tab out of
the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]), Outlook will attempt to resolve the
name against your address book. If it can't it'll red underline it and you
can right click on the name to manually resolve it. Outlook will save the
resolution for future use.
