I've read some past posts, but none seem to resolve the problem. I just
upgraded from a full version of OL2000 to OL2003. Now, I can no longer
use a contact's nickname in the "To" field. I did this daily in OL2000,
despite Russ' disbelief that this function never existed.
In OL 2003, the appropriate utility, be it autocomplete or
autoresolution, is not using nicknames to access the appropriate
contact. The majority of my emails use nicknames: Dad, sis, step,
boss, along with some less flattering ones. Using Nicknames is much
easier when I have several people with the same first and/or last name.
I have 10 michelle's in my contacts. Typing "sis" (3 letters) is
quicker than the 8 letters, 1 space, then 1st letter of her name. But
wait, I still have another Michelle M (11 letters)
Is there truly no way to use contact's nickname field???? If not, why
is the nickname field still in contacts?
