Can't add contact addresses to address book (Outlook 2003)

[TM]

Hi - I think this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to get
round it!

I've upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 (I've just got a new
Vista machine).

Always, with Outlook 2000, I could right-click on the name of a sender
in the From line, then add the address to my address book.

However, with Outlook 2003, if I right-click on the name, the only
optiions I'm given are Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear and Select All. No way
that I can either identify the sender's smail address, or add it to my
address book.

Worse still, if I just hit Reply to a message in the inbox, the name
appears in the To line, but that's all; not an email address link to
send the message on its way.

Any suggestions greatfully accepted! At the moment, if someone emails
me and they're not already in my address book, I can't reply because
I've no idea of their email addy!

Thanks -


TM

Sounds like you might not have configured your Outlook Address Book
correctly. Check that service to make sure.
