For some reason I can't get the address book to show when I am in the write window. If I start to type the address it will give me a choice of names from the address book but I can't get it to display itself when I am typing.

When you have the Write window open press F9 to display the Contact Sidebar. F9 toggles it on and off.

If you display the address book first, you can right-click the name you want and choose Write. There is an Address Book button in the customize window for the main window toolbar.
