Autocorrect my email address

[Scoober]

Hi,

I am running Vista with word 2007.

I have made an autocorrect so when I am emailing someone my email address in
an email autocorrect finishes it for me. The problem is the auto correct adds
an extra @ at the end of the email address.

I.e. (e-mail address removed) becomes (e-mail address removed)@

I have double checked and I have not added the extra @ at the end as part of
the auto correct.

Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What are you using for the trigger command for the autocorrect?

The trigger command is scott@

Hmmm! That works for me. The @ acts as activation key.
Try changing the trigger to @s then press space to activate.

Exactly. That's why he's getting @ at the end of the email address, because
@ is punctuation and activates "scott."

Yes, but here there is no additional @ when scott@ is used as the trigger.

Thank you both. although not ideal s@ does the trick.
