Outlook 2016: Autocomplete Suggestions not automatically announced

[elliott94]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new message, and begin typing an email address that's already present in Outlook's Autocomplete list; an easy way to ensure that this is the case is to send at least one email to the address, at which time it should then automatically be cached by Outlook for future use

2. When the first several letters of the email address have been typed into the "To..." edit box, hit the enter key

Actual behavior:

NVDA should then output the entirety of the email address, confirming that it's been automatically prefilled

Expected behavior:

When using Outlook 2010, upon typing the first several letters of an email address, NVDA would automatically announce the first address in Outlook's autocomplete list - this was really useful, and saved hitting enter only to find out that the wrong address had been chosen. It'd be really useful if this functionality could also be added to Outlook 2016

Hi, it already does for me. I’m curious to know if this is a regression in either Outlook or NVDA. Thanks.

Duplicate of #8502 @josephsl I believe you're using Office 365 not 2016 which makes a difference in this case.
