Hi

When writing a mail in the message field, Outlook 2003 suggests my
name after I have written the first letters. But My name is spelled
wrong (my fault). How do I correct it?

Thanks

Highlight the offending entry with your arrow keys and press the Delete key.
 
Hmmm, I don't think this is it. My name is showed in a yellow box in
the message section, not to field. It is the name I registred with
somehow. The is in Wordand Excel.

Are you using Word as your email editor?
In Word, you need to fix the autotext setting - look in Help for that as I
am not sure where its done.

No I use Outlook as email editor.

Let me try and refrase the problem. After I have written an email, I
always write my name under (not a standard signature).

I start to write the first three or four letters in my name, and a
bright yellow appears and I can only push enter/return to get my name
autocompleted. But the problem is that the name is misspelled, and I
cannot find out where to correct it. Did this make it clearer?

Thanks for all help.

OK - are you using Rich Text Format? I don't use that, so I don't know
whether it's the source of the problem. I recommend using HTML over RTF
anyway as you won't have so many problems sending attachments to non-Outlook
users. Test & see whether it still happens.
Thanks for all help.

This is still not what I mean. Please take a look at the picture in

Here you see I have started writing my name, and Outlook suggests the
full name. BUT, the name is not correct, and I want to change it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Christian

Oh... autotext?

On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then click AutoText.
In the Enter AutoText entries here list, click the name of the
AutoText entry you want to delete.
Click Delete.
