That removes all my nicknames.   The fix I want is for Outlook to stop
deciding to all of a sudden dredge up a name I used four months ago in lieu
of the one I have been using several times a day.

For example: I sent an email to a headhunter Bob Jones a few months ago,
and I send emails to my manager Bob Smith several times a day.  Outlook has
been expanding the Bob nickname to Bob Smith without any problems. Then,
all of a sudden, decides to expand Bob to Bob Jones for no apparent reason.
  I had not emailed Bob Jones for months, why did
Outlook decide to use that name.

This happens to quite a few people where I work.  It is just another in a
list of MS Outlook annoyances.
