I don't understand the relationship between the email addresses I type,
and which come up in the 'To' field, and my contacts list. How do I get
the email addresses I type to be included in my contacts?

Walt,

Let's just say the relationship isn't very much. :-) The first time you
manually type an address (for which there is no contact entry) in the 'To'
field, you must correctly type the full e-mail address. Thereafter,
Outlook's auto-completion cache will offer to "complete" the address when
you begin typing it into a recipient (To, Cc, Bcc) field, until the cache
entry is deleted or overwritten.
For a contact, you can type part of the person's name or (the first) part
of an e-mail address. If the part of the name you entered is unique,
Outlook will automatically select the contact for you. Otherwise, a red
squiggly line will appear beneath the name you entered. Right-click the
text you entered and a list of possible matches appears. For example,
let's say you have Bob Brown and Bob Smith in your contacts. If you type
Bob in a recipient field, Outlook can't determine which Bob you're
referring to, so it will underline the text "Bob" with a red squiggly
after you tab out of the recipient field. If you frequently send e-mail to
both Bobs, you could make a habit of typing a significant part of the
correct recipient. If you want to send e-mail to Bob Smith, a significant
(unique) part of the name would be "Bob S". For some reason, my test of
Outlook 2003 didn't consider "Bob B" significant, but it did "Bob Br".
MAPILab's Add Contacts product is a plugin that allows you to
automatically create contacts when you send new e-mail or reply to e-mail.
It's not free, but at $15 it may be worth trying.
