How do I automatically complete e-mail Outlook addresses used ofte

I cannot get Office to automatically complete frequently used e-mail
addresses in Microsoft Outlook (Office 2000) the way it did before I had to
install a new hard drive.. The instructions in Outlook for "automatically
selecting "entire word(s)" refers you Tools, then Advanced Options, and then
clear or check the box to automatically "select entire word". I don't have
this check box.
What are my options now?

Those instruction are for Word, not Outlook, and would have no effect on
autocompletion of email addresses in the To: field of a new message.
In fact, Outlook 2000 has never had such a feature. It has 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.
