What is MS office?

I have upgraded from "Outlook Express" to "Outlook" for my email.

When entering the information in the "TO"......where we put in the

name of the recepient..

On "Outlook Express" it would auto-fill.

I start typing D-E, and it would pull "Deanne"

from my address book.

How can I turn on that feature with "Outlook"?

Thanks

Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express are two different programs with different capabilities, although both can send and receive messages from the Internet There are two ways to share contact information between these two programs If, during Outlook Setup, you choose to upgrade a program that uses the Windows Address Book, Setup will do a silent conversion of the address entries to the Contact format used by Outlook

If you choose not to convert during Setup, you can convert at a later time by using the Import and Export Wizard Outlook provides a tool to assist you in converting Windows Address Book (WAB) information

The Windows Address Book is used by the following products:

Microsoft Internet Mail and News

Microsoft Outlook Express

Microsoft Outlook 98 and Microsoft Outlook 2000 Internet Mail Only (IMO)
