Outlook 2007 auto complete

[TerryH]

What can I do to get auto complete permently activated like I had in Outlook
2000?

Is auto complete availabe in Outlook 2007?

Is there a better way to get an addres to fill in by only entering the first
few letters of someone already in my address book. I have not updated the
address book from my prevous Oulook 2000.

Outlook features auto-complete the way you're looking for it and also
features the auto-resolution features of earlier versions of Outlook. Once
you've used an address it will autocomplete in future uses.

I have been using Outlook 207 for a few months and have tried what I could
find on line to resolve this. Surely I am not the only one that loves to
save time and key strokes.

Auto complete works fine until I log off, shut down and reopen the next day.
Others have said that Outlook 2007 auto complete will not prefill from the
address book like Outlook 2000.

I use Outlook 2003 at work and it still prefills a name that I have not used
for over a year.

Are there any other options to prefill an e-mail address by only typing in a
few beginning letters?

Not that I know of...

Outlook 2000 doesn't have autocompletion.

Is auto complete availabe in Outlook 2007?

It became available in Outlook 2002. Outlook 2000 used autoresolution and
that's available in later Outlooks as well.

No. That's the whole purpose of autocompletion. Did you create a new mail
profile after installing Outlook 2007?

That's a sign of a corrupt mail profile.

Outlook will recall indefinitely the most recent 1,000 addresses you've
used.

Fix your mail profile.

Hey Brian, I have the same issue with autocomplete. If I have a corrupt mail
profile what's the steps to correct this. I would hate to lose my e-mail if
I screw something up. Could you refer me somewhere with instructions for
this.

I did create a new profile and it did fix my problems with autocomplete. I
was not able to do this using the micsoft instruction, The settings would
not work. I finally did it through the "add new profile" under the Tools
menu in the Outlook program. It was much easier that way.

Instructions work fine unless you're on Vista 64 bit.
Moreover, there is no "add new profile" in the Tools menu in Outlook. You
can't create a new profile from within Outlook.
