Shortcut to get e-mail address on "To" line?

[Steph]

I am a new user of Outlook 2003. I have set up my address book using the
Contacts screens. When I write a new e-mail message, I can retrieve the
desired address by clicking on "To", selecting from the displayed list, etc.
However, for only some of the names I can shortcut this by just typing the
beginning of the name on the "To" line. This method doesn't work on most of
the names. Can you help me fix this?

You will fix it yourself as you send mail to more people. Outlook maintains
an "autocomplete" list only of those people you have already sent messages
to.
