Mr. Graham could perhaps apologize to Mr. Ritter197 for his reply, which was
condescending and sarcastic. Mr. Ritter197 was correct that the response was unhelpful. The fact that there was a backhanded answer to his question does not negate the fact that it was preceded by the language that he correctly saw as a reprimand. Mr. Ritter197 stated his issue in a mere 57 words and, like many who seek help in this forum, he was somewhere along the spectrum of frustration. It would have cost nothing to have supplied the answer without comment. And this ever-lenthening thread could have been truncated after response #2. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Ritter197 made a sincere, polite, and unqualified apology to Mr. Graham whose response was an ungracious, "Noted." Here's a suggested response for Mr. Graham, "It was gracious of you to apologize, despite my own sarcasm and condescension, and I owe you a proper acknowledgement of your apology, which I hope this is."

What question? Ritter197 did not ask a question. He posted a rant. Moreover,
it was irrelevant to Word because the address book is the province of Outlook, as both JR and Graham pointed out, suggesting that he post a question in an Outlook NG. Given that there was no question in the first place and that Ritter197's post was belligerent and abusive, it was actually rather gracious of Graham to provide an answer at all. -- Suzanne S.

Here's something you could add at the end of your rant:
"Even if I don't know the meaning of 'belligerent' or 'abusive,' I do recognize that Mr. Ritter197 made a very decent apology and, on that basis alone, Mr. Mayor should have been more gracious in acknowledging that. It's not often in the world that people are so pleasant and well mannered as to apologize in a straightforward manner for their errors." Richard "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I use MS Office 2003 and am appalled that I cannot store automatically e-mail addresses from senders. I could always do that in OE, every version. Here I pay a lot for a "better" system and it cannot even capture e-mail addresses? But I can BUY it for $ 15 - 20, what a joke! And insult! |

Both.
"JR" onejmATcomcast.net wrote in message ... Is the the "Be Nice" forum or the "Word" forum ???? John "mpt" wrote in message news:1VMqe.37844$x96.28874@attbi_s72... Here's something you could add at the end of your rant: "Even if I don't know the meaning of 'belligerent' or 'abusive,' I do recognize that Mr. Ritter197 made a very decent apology and, on that basis alone, Mr. Mayor should have been more gracious in acknowledging that. It's not often in the world that people are so pleasant and well mannered as to apologize in a straightforward manner for their errors." Richard "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... What question? Ritter197 did not ask a question. He posted a rant. Moreover, it was irrelevant to Word because the address book is the province of Outlook, as both JR and Graham pointed out, suggesting that he post a question in an Outlook NG. Given that there was no question in the first place and that Ritter197's post was belligerent and abusive, it was actually rather gracious of Graham to provide an answer at all. -- Suzanne S.

"mpt" wrote in message news:QDLqe.37715$x96.17387@attbi_s72... Mr. Graham could perhaps apologize to Mr. Ritter197 for his reply, which was condescending and sarcastic. Mr. Ritter197 was correct that the response was unhelpful. The fact that there was a backhanded answer to his question does not negate the fact that it was preceded by the language that he correctly saw as a reprimand. Mr. Ritter197 stated his issue in a mere 57 words and, like many who seek help in this forum, he was somewhere along the spectrum of frustration. It would have cost nothing to have supplied the answer without comment. And this ever-lenthening thread could have been truncated after response #2. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Ritter197 made a sincere, polite, and unqualified apology to Mr. Graham whose response was an ungracious, "Noted." Here's a suggested response for Mr. Graham, "It was gracious of you to apologize, despite my own sarcasm and condescension, and I owe you a proper acknowledgement of your apology, which I hope this is." Richard "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... In that case, I believe you need to go back and apologize to Graham for saying, "Your response was not Helpful." -- Suzanne S.

"Ritter197" wrote in message ... Thank you, Suzanne. That was very useful and it works! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Did you not see the last part of Graham's post: "right click the sender's name in the message and select add or edit phone numbers"? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. "Ritter197" wrote in message ... I think you understood what I was asking. Your response was not Helpful, but rather a reprimand. So CAN you answer positively? I would welcome that. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... The newsgroup titles indicate the content. You have posted to Word newusers and Word general (an orphan group no longer hosted by Microsoft). The correct forum for your whinge would have been the Outlook forum, but these are peer groups and they are no more interested in whinges than we are. If you have a constructive question, such as 'how do I add a sender to my Outlook's contact list' then ask it - and someone will tell you to right click the sender's name in the message and select add or edit phone numbers. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ritter197 wrote: Well well. Is WORD not part of Office???? Read again! "JR" onejmATcomcast.net wrote in message ... This is WORD, not Outlook. Take your gripes there ! John "Ritter197" wrote in message ...
