Is there a way, either built-in to Outlook 2003 or through third party
software that will display contacts in a alphabetical list when
composing a mail message? Specifically, the user wants to be able to
select a letter, e.g. "A", "B", "C", etc... when composing a message
(when clicking the "To" field in the mail form) that will pull up an
alphabetical listing of contacts from the address book.

I know this capability resides in OWA, but I have yet to find a
solution for Outlook 2003. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Clicking the To button does this already if you've properly configured the
Outlook Address Book service.

My apologies, I wasn't clear in my message. I know that the address
book lists the contacts in alphabetical order, but I am looking for a
way to have buttons that represent each letter, likened to the contacts
section of Outlook.

Thanks for the response.

The Outlook Address Book interface is almost completely unconfigurable.
Certainly its appearance is that way.
