Email Address Completion in Outlook Express

Hi again,
I got an email today asking why address completion had disappeared from Outlook Express. Apparently, the person was writing an email, and when entering the address, the address wasn't completed after a few characters were typed. This is how you can set this up:

1. In the main toolbar of Outlook Express, choose Tools > Options.
   
   The Options dialog box opens.


2. Click the Send tab.


3. In the Send tab of the dialog box, check the box entitled "Automatically complete e-mail addresses while composing."


4. Click Apply then OK.


5. You might have to restart Outlook Express for the changes to take effect.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

CSS Tricks: Part III

Hi again,

I thought I'd add a few more CSS tricks.

Trick 1: Highlighting links on hover or when clicked

a:hover, a:active {
color: #FF0000;
background-color: #FFFF00;
}

Trick 2: Stacking headings (to get rid of unwanted space)

h1, h2 {margin-top: 3em;}
h1+h2 {margin-top: -3em;}

Trick 3: Using an image as a bullet

ul {
list-style-image: url(yourimage.gif);
}

More coming later!

Then place this at the beginning of each new paragraph.

It should look like this:
