I want to make a macro so that everytime my boss writes his name in an email it'll appear as "turnip head" instead of "Martin"

How do I do it?

You will need to start editing the vb script with if and else statements etc.

Macros in Office don't use VB Script, they use VBA.

when you write an email in outlook it will use word so doing what i said will change it when he writes an email.

this only fails if her sends in plain text or rich text but i dont know many people that do that.
