accessing addresses when I'm not in "mail"

[tarradiddle]

Need some help. When I am on a website - say like an ecard- and I have to put in email addresses to send it to (OK got the picture?) Well, I don't have the addys in my head ( altho there is plenty of empty space in there). So, how do I access my "address book" to put the addys into the S ???end To space?? OOPS. Hope you can make that out OK. TIA, Pam

Ok, first thing is - were you aware that you can have more than one window open at a time, Pam? And, you can resize them so that you can either have them overlapping or even small enough to get the whole thing on the screen at the same time - might have to use horizontal and vertical scrollbars though. Resize by placing the cursor on the top, side or corner - the cursor will chanage to a bi-directional arrow - meaning you can now push or pull the top, side or corner in or out to make it smaller or larger. Now, the purpose for all that is to bring up the subject of the address book. Where do you have your address book? If it's only in Yahoo, you'd have to open up Yahoo and have it side by side with whatever you're wanting to place the addy into, or else have all of the addresses in a text file, perhaps that you open up. If you use Outlook Express it contains a very useful address book. Thirdly, you can make sure that you have auto-complete set for your Internet Explorer browser by going to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and make sure the 'Use In-line Autocomplete' is checked. If that is checked, then the system will 'remember' addresses, and if you start typing one in it will 'complete' it for you - if several addresses are similar, you'll have to select the correct one.
