1st Contact Name NOT Highlighlit, requiring an extra name search s
I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2, under XP SP2.
Mostly, I'm in Mail and click on the button to go to Contacts and back whenever I need to look up a contact. In Contacts, I use Detailed Address Card view, although the problem I'm reporting occurs also in Address Card View. Problem: when going to Contacts from Email, it used to open Contacts with the first contact already highlighted (the "file as" name only, at the top of the individual contact white box), which enabled me to immediately start typing the first few letters of the contact I was using. Some weeks ago, perhaps after a security update change or the like, when going into Contacts, the name is no longer highlighted. As a result, I need to click on the Detailed Address Card radio button on the left pane in order to highlight the first contact name and then be able to key in the first few letters of my contact search. Is there a way I can return to the mode in which the first name is highlighted without having to click on a radio button? THANKS! |

Doubt the Security Update did it.
Stop using Outlook Today as the overlay for your root folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "YJ" wrote in message ... I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2, under XP SP2.

1st Contact Name NOT Highlighlit, requiring an extra name sear
Thanks, Russ! As soon as I de-select the Outlook Today option from coming on
when Outlook opens, the problem is gone. But then as soon as I access Outlook Today (even if just once), same situation returns. Is there a way for me to set it up elsewhere so it does not have this negative effect? Where, how? Thanks again! "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Doubt the Security Update did it.

Not that I know of. This appears to be a bug they decided not to fix.
