Using my Microsoft Outlook account: When I type a
recipient's name in the To section, I want Outlook to
automatically recognize the person that I am sending the
email to after I type the first couple letters of the
recipient's name. I know that others have it set up that
way I just do not know how...PLEASE HELP ME!
 
What version of Outlook?

1.. Open a new message.
2.. In the To field, type an ambiguous name. For example, if you have
Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt in your global address list, you
can type "roosevelt" (without the quotation marks).
3.. Press the TAB key to move the cursor out of the To field.
4.. With AutoNameCheck turned on, this name does not resolve, and you see
a wavy red line underneath what you typed in. Right-click the text in the To
field, and a sub-menu with possible matches appears. Click the one you want
to resolve the name to.
You have just created a nickname file. The next time you type in this
ambiguous name, it will resolve to the name that you selected from the list.
When it resolves from the nickname file, it will have a green dashed
underline (instead of a solid black underline). This is your indication that
the name was resolved by the nickname file.
