MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004autocomplete on address
In Netscape Messenger, if I compose a new message and type, say, johndoe and wait a second, netscape automatically adds my default domain in, as in johndoe@domain.com. I would like to know how (if possible) to do this in Microsoft Outlook 2002. In Outlook I have to type the entire email address in. Outlook has two features that do this by default. Autocompletion ("Suggest Names") which pulls entries from messages you have sent and Autoresolution ("Automatic Name checking") which pulls names from your Contacts data. Both are enabled by default. Only you would have a clue how they became disabled.

Hey Russ, those options are both enabled; I think it's possible you do not understand the question. I know Outlook can pull a complete email address from the address book if it's already in there. But the behavior that I am looking for is something like this: Say my email address is jstroup@gardner-webb.edu. When I compose a new message and type, say 'johndoe' in the "To" line, I want it to automatically add @gardner-webb.edu to the end if I don't type anything else, like netscape messenger does. I don't know if this is possible in Outlook 2002 but I'd like to try, and this is why I posted, because I figured somebody out here would know. >-----Original Message----- >Outlook has two features that do this by default.

Outlook will autocomplete any address to which you've previously sent a message after you've typed in the first letter of the name. Is that not what you are asking?

I use the Autocomplete function on outlook xp, but it's becoming problem because it's remembering every single address I've ever replie to. How can I delete these names from the memory? I've already delete them from the address book, but the Autocomplete function stil remembers them and I can't find out where they're stored. Thanks for any help anyone could give me 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. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q287623 SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > > I use the Autocomplete function on outlook xp, but it's becoming a [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > ------------------------------------------------
