Ok I need help on 2 items...

1 - How do you change it to alphabetize names by last name? This has to be the only program on earth that does it by first name.

2 - when I begin to type in a name, it will only display the last 5 people with that letter that I have emailed. Even if type in the persons full name, it wont come up. I have to go into contacts and find their name and then select from there to send an email.


I friggin hate Outlook

near the top right in Contacts is a drop down that allows you to sort by last name.

question 2 - where are you typing in a name? can you take a screen shot?

When typing in a name for their email address (assuming in To/CC/BCC), there should be a 'Check Names' button in the ribbon. Type a few characters & hit this button, should bring up a list of relevant selections.

On mine, the ribbon goes in segments: Clipboard | Basic Text | Names

It is in the Names section.

Number 1 is in Options for mail.

Number 2 is if you haven't emailed the person or they haven't emailed you, you have to open contact list to find their name.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
