Turn off automatic change of mailname from salutation

When I change the salutation, it automatically changes the mailname. How do I
turn this feature off>

Honey

Not sure what you need.

What do you consider a "salutation"?

What is the "mailname"?

Neither of these terms seem to be connected with Excel.

The Excel file is set up with headings:
Last name, Salutation, Mailname, Street, City, State, Zip, etc...

I want to set the Salutation to be "Jane and John" while the Mailname is
"Mr. and Mrs. John Doe." Every time I try to change the Salutation, Excel
automatically changes the Mailname to "Jand and John Doe." I don't know why
it's doing that, and I don't know how to make it stop.

Thanks!

Ahhh! the light blinks on.

I do not use Excel as a mail-sending application.

Nobody I know has any interest in anything I could produce in Excel<g>

Ron de Bruin is the King of Sending by Mail via Excel.
