Can Outlook 2000 be set to auto complete email addresses in To, Cc

F

I currently use Outlook 2003 and am helping a friend set up her Outlook 2000.
In the 03 version you can set it to pull up a list of email addresses when
you begin typing in the email "To" block. However, when I go into 2000's
Advanced Email Options, I don't find a place to turn on the automatic
completion feature. Is it available in Office 2000, and if so, how is it
activated?

The AutoComplete feature was added to Outlook in version 2002.
It is not available in 2000.

Versions of Outlook earlier than Outlook 2002 have no autocompletion
feature. They have a feature called auto-resolution. If you enter part of a
name or a nickname then tab out of the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]),
Outlook will attempt to resolve the name against your address book. If it
can't it'll red underline it and you can right click on the name to manually
resolve it. Outlook will save the resolution for future use.

I am using Outlook 2003 and all of a sudden the auto completion feature
doesn't work when I send e-mail. It was working fine until a few weeks ago. I
went to Advanced e-mail options and "automatic completion of e-mail names" is
checked off. Does anyone know of any other way to fix this?

Thanks,

Posted here countless times. Make sure Outlook is exiting completely before
you restart it. If it is, create a new profile and start over.

Thanks... sorry, I just got on here yesterday and I didn't see anything
specific to this problem. I guess I'll need to create a new profile, because
I have restarted several times.
