Automatically add to address book

[tshad]

Is there a way to automatically add someone to your address book in Outlook
2000/2003?

In other email programs you can do a ctrl key combination and add people to
your address book from mail you get, without having to actually open the
address book and retype everything. This would be convenient for adding
names in your "to" field to allow outlook to finish filling it in. In
Eudora, as you type an address it will give you all the address you
previously typed in to give you a choice without having to type the whole
addess (also convenient if you can't remember the address). Outlook
doesn't seem to do this.

Thanks,

Tom.

Ctrl+K will do it... If you have OL XP there is an option to autocomplete.

Why doesn't Outlook have the autocomplete? I would assume that since that
is the more advanced program it would have what OL XP has.

Thanks,

Ask the person to whom you responded said, Outlook 2002 DOES have
autocomplete, as does Outlook 2003.
