Edit problem in Outlook 2000
 

Windows XP, Outlook 2000. When I reply to a message and compose some text,
I have no problems. But, when I attempt to edit any of the text contained
in the original message, and press the space bar or any of the alphameric
keys, my name is immediately inserted like this: [Bob].

For example, if I received the above paragraph in an email and then replied
to it, and tried to insert a space between "Windows XP" and the ",", what
would appear is: Windows XP [Bob] . Why does Outlook do this and how do I
stop it?

Outlook does it because you told it to. You have configured Word as your
editor and have told it to "Mark My Replies" with [Bob].
Examine your settings.

Thanks. I took a look at the Email Options and found that I had checked
"Mark my comments with Bob" which was causing the problem. I should
have check the options before I posted the message. Thanks.
