Is there a way to auto find contacts in Outlook 2003? In other words,
presently when I am trying to find a contact, I either have to scroll thru
the entire list of contacts or click on "Find a contact", input the name and
press enter. Is there a way to auto find contacts, so when I go to contacts
and type in a S it goes to S, Sm it goes to all Sm, Smi, Smit, Smith, etc.
You can do this already when you are in email, click on new, click on To:,
get the select name box and start typing in the "Type Name or Select from
List" field. If it's not already built in, is there an addon for this?
Thanks!

It's a window in the Standard Toolbar - It says Type a Contact To Find.

As an example, type Kar Gree and hit the Enter key and you'll get Karen
Green ( if you have a Contact called Karen Green)

Hi Judy,
Thanks for trying, however, I'm looking for a way to auto find contacts - in
other words, so I don't have to hit the Enter key. For instance, when I go
to Google it does the same thing when I'm typing in a query. It's trying to
guess what I'm looking for. Does Outlook Contacts have a way to auto guess
who you are trying to find? Thanks again...
