Cannot enter recipient email addresses in Outlook on Mac. Any help?

Yes, this works but I can't figure how to save it my contacts....used to be done automatically

Hi Jon,

Thanks for replying so quickly. Yes, your directions work for something that is already in my contacts but not for a new contact as it won't search for something that isn't there. How do I add a new address to my list of contacts. This used to happen automatically, Now, without the cursor appearing, nothing seems to work properly.

HERE'S SOMETHING THAT WORKS !!!!!

Click on the To box.

It then takes you to a screen that says Add Recipients.

Below that is a box that says My Contacts.

Fill in the name of person who you want to address to.

It says Searching Contacts, and then name you entered pops up.

Hit the + sign and that name fills into the To: section.

Hit Save. **** ****(Left this step out of previous notes I sent out.)

To add another name in this field, repeat process.

To send CC or BCC, click on those boxes and do same thing.

Hope this helps. It seems to be working for me... at least for now.

Microsoft, I have the same problem! Seems kind of more than a coincidence that so many have this new weird problem with the To bar not letting us type address of recipient. Been like this since early May for all of us.

We should not have to "open in new window" in order to type in that space.

Seems like a Microsoft problem to fix, instead of thinking the problem is with our computer or useage history!

Thanks in advance for any more info!

This DOES work. It's odd to have to do this, but at least it's a viable workaround. Many thanks!
