You've left out any relevant details. Most likely you tried to import
Contacts and did so incorrectly. State how you created this problem. Outlook
didn't do it all by itself. This is end user error.

Hi,

I have Outlook 2002 installed on Windows XP. When I tried to compose a new
message, the weird thing is there is just a dot "." shown in the box when
I
click New - Click To... - High light the recipient's name - click To.
Pleae help to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance!
