MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006help on automatic name checking
Automatic Name Checking is a selectable option within the Advanced Options of the E-mail Tools menu. I would have thought that all options and facitlities within Outlook would have entries in the Help System. From 2007 Beta I have tried to get Help on Automatic Name Checking without success. I understand Auto Complete and have read other entries in the News Group on this. I thought Automatic Name Checking would be the facility of the software to check a name as you type from the Outlook contacts file and suggest results as in Outlook Express. This does not appear to be the case as I have set it OFF (but on exiting Tools, the Apply button was still grey so I could not Apply the change) but on tryping a name in the To field of a message, the result is underlined suggesting a check has been made. Any comments?? Is there an option to switch off autocomplete and work in the same way as Express with suggestions coming from the Contacts file and not the System-built recently typed names file? Help is never complete in beta applications. The autocomplete and automatic name check features are totally separate. Autocomplete makes suggestions and builds the suggestion list from messages you have sent. Name check attempts to match a typed name with an address stored in one of your address lists. Outlook doesn't work like Express. It doesn't make suggestions from contacts.

What are the symptoms of the problem? Note that automatic name checking kicks in when you send a message.
