Hmmm,

Alt-Period does nothing in my outlook 365

To source an address from my contacts, I have to

- Press control-N for new message (which places me in the To field);
- Type part of a name; and
- Pres alt-K for Check contacts and then I get a list of possibilities to choose from.

Regards
Susan

When composing a new email message ?using Outlook, the ?email addresses ?that ?appear ?below the "To" field after typing in a few letters are previous recipients, not names in your address book.

If you want to use names from your address book when composing a new email message, you must first place focus in the"To" field and then open the address book using the keyboard command ALT plus period.

Hi

I'm using Outlook 2016, not sure which version of Office as I've had this pC since November 2017, may well be version 2013. I notice that since the update to Windows 10 to the latest version a few days ago, autocompletion of address when sending emails in Outlook 2016 seems to have changed as it doesn't always say anything when I type in a name and address or only says after the first two letters whereas before frequently used addresses said this, especially if people have more than one address, not sure what I need to do.

Thanks.
