658 Chapter 22 Store and Access Contact Information
Selecting Message Recipients from Address Books.
When you send an e-mail message to a person whose contact information is stored in one
of your address books, you can quickly address the message to that person by entering
his or her name exactly as it appears in the address book and letting Outlook validate
the address. If you don’t know the exact spelling of the name, follow these steps:
- In the message composition window, click the Address Book button in the Names
group on the Message tab.
The Select Names dialog box opens.
To insert names from an address book, you must open the address book from the message
composition window.
- In the Address Book list, click the arrow, and then click the address book you want
to search. - Scroll through the Name list, and locate the person’s name.
Tip You can enter the first few letters of the person’s name to scroll to entries beginning
with those letters. - To add the person in the To box as a primary message recipient, double-click the
name, or click it and then press Enter. To add the person as a secondary or private
recipient, click in the Cc or Bcc box at the bottom of the dialog box and then double-
click the name, or click it and press Enter.
