Inserting contact from email

[tommyvin]

I am using Outlook 2003. In Help I read, "Open or preview the e-mail message
that contains the name you want to add to your contact list.

Right-click the name of the sender you want to make into a contact, and then
click Add to Contacts on the shortcut menu."

I see no "Add to Contacts" on the shortcut menu." Do I need a new pair of
glasses or what?

Are you right clicking on the name in the message header or somewhere else?

Roady,

I'm right clicking on the name in the message header. On the dropdown menu
that appears I get 14 choices:
Open
Print
Reply to All
Options

But there is no Add to Contacts.

Will I have to upgrade to the latest version of Outlook to be able to add a
contact from an email?

I'm right clicking on the name in the message header.

No you're not. You're clicking the message header itself in the folder
listing, proven by the list of actions you cite. You need either to enable
the Reading Pane or double-click the message to open it. Then right-click the
address in the From header.

I got it. Thanks for the help. I wasn't clicking the From header.
