Quick add for Outlook contacts
|
Paul Martz <skewmatrix@...>
Hi all. I'm looking for a quick way to add the sender of an open email message to my contacts.
I'm getting this information for a friend of mine, who has Office 365 on a Windows 10 system. I don't have access to such a setup, so I can't tinker around to find a solution. If someone here can tell me how to do this, I'll teach her how in our next tandem session. Thanks. -Paul |

Just to add to these completely correct instructions I do the same thing except that I usually use the Jaws cursor to go up to the "From" field, then put the cursor somewhere on the address and then I right click which brings up the same context menu with "Add to Outlook Contacts" as one of the options.

This will already populate the name and email address, depending on how the person has their account set up you may have to edit the name, e.g. it may show up as "Smith, John" but you may want to put "John Smith". Regards, Sieghardcan only -----Original Message-----

Thanks. I tried a couple things like this in a tandem connection today. But I was unable to get the context menu to

But it's good to know the procedure for doing this in Office 365 is essentially unchanged from what I do with my old Office 2010. Next time, if I run into the same issue, I'll just have my friend try it on her computer directly.

Hi,

I’ll throw in my method for accomplishing this task. 1. Hit enter on the message containing the sender’s address that you would like to add. 2. Press alt 1 twice quickly to move Jaws focus to the sender field. 3. Press control A., this will select the sender’s address. 4. Press shift F10 to open the context menu. 5. Press D to select the “Add to Outlook contacts” option. Many ways to skin a cat. I hope this helps. Peace! On Aug 2, 2017, at 4:31 PM, Kevin Hourigan <kevinthourigan@...> wrote: |

I like that Alt+1 twice. So true, there is more than one way to do most computer tasks.

Thanks Steve and Paul. These are both awesome methods, very quick and simple. I don't do this often myself, so I'm going to jot it down in a note for later reference. And I'm sure these methods will be helpful for my friend that I've been assisting remotely. Thanks again.

Ashleigh P Works for me; just did it. However, you never mentioned that the e-mail address would be in the name field too, ha ha! After getting that fixed though, it works great.
