When you type a name in the To, Cc, or Bcc boxes while creating a new
email message, Outlook automatically checks the names against your
address book. This is handy, because you can type "Joe" and it will look for a "Joe" in your address book. If Outlook finds an
exact match, the name is underlined. If it finds multiple names that
match what you type, a red, wavy line appears under the name.
Right-click the name to see the other names found, and simply choose
the correct one. If Outlook finds multiple names that match what you type, and you have used the address before, the name you chose previously appears with a
green, dashed underline to remind you that there are other choices.
Right-click the name to see the other names found. If you'd rather not have
this feature activated, you can turn it off. Click Tools, Options. On the Preferences tab, click E-Mail Options, then click Advanced E-Mail Options. Then, deselect the Automatic Name Checking option. [PCWorld Tip of the Day] 2003-Dec-16 10:27am lamb@nmmi.edu | |
