Autocomplete by Address Only?
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? |

If you enter "Tom" do you get Tom Brown?

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?

As I type a name, I get whatever is in the NK2 file - apparently first
name. But, I also get actual email addresses that begin with 'T'. In some cases, I don't see a name, only an email address. So: if I type 'T' I get Tom (and other names with T) if I type 'B' I do not get Brown (and other names with B) if I type 'R' I get (and other names with R) But if I want Pinky Smith ), I can only get that by typing 'R' Hope you can understand the examples.
