MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2005Outlook 2003 should allow searching contacts by typing the name
Outlook 2000 did that - why not 2003? Also, the "search" slot can't be accessed by keystroke - you need to use the mouse. Ridiculous. Did what? Your message is a bit short on detail.

In Outlook 2000, once you were inside contacts (as opposed to calender, mail, etc), you could simply start typing the letters of a person's name, and outlook would bring up the correct address card as soon as you'd typed enough letters. Now I don't see any way to search except to hit the alpha letters at the right screen - a laborious process - or to seachthrough the "type a contact to find." And you can't get there by hitting ALT+ various letters - you need to use your mouse to get there. (That's not quite true, if you hit CTRL+E you get there - but you need to be in the correct position in Outlook for that shortcut to work.) Any ideas? Sorry for being so cryptic - I'm new at community groups. Jean Snyder > Did what? Your message is a bit short on detail. > > > Outlook 2000 did that - why not 2003?

Ridiculous. this happens because the folder contents don't take focus when you open a folder (for security reasons). You need to tab, then it should work.
