In Outlook 2002 there are a couple items I cannot locate
that are available in Outlook Express. I'm wondering if
anyone knows if these features are available, but hidden
or just not there.

First is the Signature file. Can you manually insert a
signature file versus having it always automatically put
in your new e-mail messages?

Secondly, the auto name completion will work if you've
typed the name once, but is there a setting to have this
work with all of your names in your contact list without
manually typing all the names in?

Thanks,
Steve

1) Yes, there is a signatures button on the Toolbar to choose from. For more
on signatures in Outlook see;
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/signatures.htm

2) No, it a cache list only. You can however type a little from the name and
use CTRL+K to resolve the rest (or press the Check Names icon on the
Toolbar)

Steve et al,

Your autocompletion file is aka an NK2 or nickname or autocompletion file.

The data in this file is captured from your entries in the to: a's called
Owtlook.

ddress field. If you want to put all contact data into the autocomplete
file, press the To: button, select all contacts, disconnect your internet
connection and press the send button. This should put everyone into your
autocompletion file.

If that sounds awkard it should. We wrote a utility that will enable you to
add single entries, delete and change other entries in your autocomplete
file. If you're patient, we can add an import utility. For now, you can
review our utility at www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm . It's called
Owtlook.

If you desire additional information about this utility, e-mail at address
below.
