No special configuration is required. Simply create a new contact in your
contacts folder, give it the name "Dad," and type in the email address for
that contact. When you create a new message, you'll be able to type "Dad"
into the To box, and Outlook will automatically match up that text with the
contact and add the email address.

I want to configure Outlook to that I can assign any name to an email address
OTHER than the suggestion of the program. For example, I'd like to change
to simply "Dad". The AOL
and Gmail interfaces do this quickly and easily. I cannot seem to make
Outlook do it. Help?
