I am useing an Office Outlook 2003 on a new computer and i was wondering if there was a way to set it so that whenever i want to send an email, the email address auto fill's when i type in the first letter of the email or the first letter of the name of the person i am trying to send to.
I know it autofills email addresses that have sent in the past, but i would like it to autofill the email addresses of the people i have in my Outlook "Contacts" list.

The way to do what you want is to disable the "Suggest names when completing To:, CC;, and BC fields", and just type in the "Display As" name listed in your Contact's entry.

I just changed my settings just as you said, but it doesnt autofill any names or email addresses automatically. My Contacts do have a name and an email address in the "Display As". Is there something else i have to set?
Thanks.

I meant type in whatever is in the "File As" field. If you're typing in the "File As" name, then when you either check the names or send the email, whatever is in the "Display As" field will show in the To: field of the email.
