I'm a bit late on this thread; but if you open a received email, you can
right-click on the From 'displayname' and select Add to Outlook Contacts.
That seems pretty easy and intuitive to an aged silver surfer like me. The
last automation I would want is to have a sender's address added
automatically to contacts - think how may SPAM addresses there would be by
now!
BTW. There is no microsoft.public.word.general and hasn't be for at least 5
years.

: Mr. Graham could perhaps apologize to Mr. Ritter197 for his reply,

:
: Mr. Ritter197 stated his issue in a mere 57 words and, like many who
seek

: It

And

#2.

: Not to mention the fact that Mr. Ritter197 made a sincere, polite, and

: "Noted."
:
