  2. AUTOCOMPLETING EMAIL ADDRESSES IN OUTLOOK 2016

Thanks Bill, I actually have deleted & re-added this contact a couple of
times. I did not know there were multiple sets of contacts. Perhaps he is
listed in one of those with just a first initial & last name which would be
his email. I'll try & check that out & delete any but the one in my
contacts list created by me manually.

Thanks,
Sherry Wells

List or card view makes the autocomplete come up as text rather than as a
graphic. I don't know why you must type the first name and part of the last
name. May I suggest that you delete this contact, then enter it again
manually in the contacts, reached by CONTROL plus three below the Function
keys.

The reason you sometimes have contacts which you didn't add is that there
are two or three sets of contacts. One of these is Suggested Contacts. These
often come because you have received an email from these contacts.

Hi Bill,

What does list or card view do re auto complete? My auto complete is
working but oddly. For a couple of people I need to type in first initial
then start typing last name. This is true even though the contact is
displayed as whole first name followed by whole last name. Also, how does
it happen that I sometimes get an auto complete of someone I have sent
emails to in the past but who is not in my contacts list? Would setting the
list / card view as you describe below resolve these things?

Thanks,
Sherry Wells

Hi, Ricky.

To access the AutoComplete setting head to File > Options and select the
Mail tab in the left pane. Then scroll down to the Send Messages section and
check or uncheck Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the
To, Cc, and Ccc lines.

Usually this set to on by default. What I think is wrong is that the
Contacts view is not set to list or card view.

To do this:

1. Open Outlook.
2. Press CONTROL plus the number three below the function keys to open
contacts.
3. Press ALT plus V, followed by the letters C, then V.

Hi

How does one set to autocomplete email addresses in Outlook 2016 or does it
depend on which screen reader I use though don't see why it should.

Thanks.
