I'm sorry. I meant Mr. Mayor, not Mr. Graham.

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."

In that case, I believe you need to go back and apologize to Graham for
saying, "Your response was not Helpful."

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"?

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.

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.

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!
