MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005How to import email addresses into Word email editor?
Surely there is a way to bring the autofill list of contact email addresses, which accumulated in Word as used as Outlook's email editor, from my old computer to my new one! An hour's look in Outlook help and a newsgroup search turns up no clue. TIA to whoever knows how. --Mark Hammer Lake Oswego, Oregon Your post is unclear. Post your Outlook version. Post why you think anything at all "accumulated in Word." Post what you mean by "autofill list"  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Surely there is a way to bring the autofill list of contact email > addresses, which accumulated in Word as used as Outlook's email editor, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > --Mark Hammer > Lake Oswego, Oregon Sorry. Outlook 2003 and Word 2003 on both old and new computers. Windows XP Professional on both. On the old computer, when from Outlook's Mail window I click "New", it opened Word for a new email message. In the "To:" and CC boxes when I start to type an email address, it would autofill from earlier email addresses which matched the characters I had typed in. I came to rely on that feature, and to appreciate it. Where those earlier entries were stored, I don't know. Word? Outlook? On my new computer, I've transferred my Outlook.pst file from the old computer, so all my former email and all my contacts show up on my new one. However, when I create a new email from outlook, it opens Word, but when entering an email address I'm starting from scratch--it doesn't have the history of all the emails I've entered, as did my old computer. I'm wondering if it is possible to transfer those earlier email entries which Word recognized on the old computer, to the new one? I hope this is clearer. --Mark Hammer > Your post is unclear. > Post your Outlook version.

It is a separate file created as you send messages. A new installation would, of course, have nothing in its cache. These addresses are stored in a file with an NK2 extension. If you can find your old NK2 file, you can copy it, rename it to match the NK2 file in your new installation, then replace the new NK2 file with your old one.
