Autocomplete by Address Only?
Autocomplete is detached from the contacts list - the full names should be
in autocomplete though, at least for the people you replied.
If you type bro and Ctrl+K, does Tom Brown (or other Bro's) come up?

There does not seem to be any consistent result. 2 names in my contact
list work differently (although both are set up the same). However,
typing the first few letters of the email address always works.
Suggestions?

Lots of people I correspond with do not have email addresses that match
their names. Example: Tom Brown is , etc When I use
autocomplete and type Bro, I never get Tom Brown. I would have to
remember to type Lad... to get autocomplete to work. Why try to
remember an address?
Autocomplete works for John Smith if I type Joh, so it's not that
Outlook is not working on my machine. I understand how autocomplete
works - but I don't see a setting that will allow me to autocomplete
the address based on Name, rather than address. I'm using Outlook
2003 on Windows XP
Have I missed a setting or option?
