contact name wrong in tooltip

G

Guest

I got an e-mail where the sender's name was spelled incorrectly. My address
book(?) picked up the bad name (Car instead of Carr) and displays it as the
tooltip for auto fill. Now all of my e-mails to Carr say "Car" -- the wrong
spelling. I used the find function but I can't find the short "car" in
Carr's entry, except as part of "Carr!"

This is Outlook 2002, 10.6515.6626.

Autocompletion data is not stored in your Contacts folder.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the
directions here:

To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
