Thank you. That's an idea. But here's the problem. I have a drop down box
of names which I use. And I want their names to appear in the box, not their
email addresses. I want that when I select any name from the drop down box,
it automatically becomes a hyperlink to the email address associated. Now
the truth is, they are all outlook contacts, so the "mailto:" would be the
name itself. Do you think this is possible?

Thanks for all your help,
Scott

Try out the following:

In Excel menu-
----Tools - Options - Spelling
-----Click on 'Auto Correct Options...' button
------Input the name (John Smith) in the text box labelled 'Replace:' and
input the email id ) in the text box labelled 'With:'.
------Click on Add and click OK and close the window.

Now, whenever you type John Smith and press the enter key, it will change to
the email id.


Note: Instead of putting the entrire name, you can use short names, what
ever you like. For ex: for John Smith you input JS in the 'Replace:' text box
mentioned above, so that when ever you type JS it gets converted to the email
id.

Hope this will help you.

Here's what I want to do:

Everytime I input a name, it represents the email address and automatically
becomes a hyperlink. For example:

John Smith will automatically become a hyperlink to . Is
there some way that I can set John Smith = or something like
that?

Thanks,
