[NFBCS] autocomplete in Outlook 2016

[Steve Jacobson]

Chris,

This might have been the information I was thinking of.  Unfortunately, when I researched this a little more, I saw some posts that indicate there is not a way to get Gmail autocomplete data downloaded.  I don't know if the software to download can be used to grab Gmail information or not, though.  As can be seen, this isn't a simple process even if it does work.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Microsoft seems to be a little vague about its autocomplete function, and I have found Google to be the same way.  As I recall, autocomplete data is also stored differently depending upon the version of Outlook.  When I tried to move contacts from a BrailleNote into Gmail which is where they had to go to be used by a BrailleNote Touch, I was really frustrated with the lack of specifics that I could get from Google as well.  I realize that is not quite what you are doing, though.
