MSN for Mac 2011 problems

[Dean]

I have the latest MSN for Mac 2011 which comes with Office for Mac 2011 BETA 14, and I can't change my display name. I've tried everything but I'm not sure what to do.

Any ideas?

Sorry about the tacky contact list scribbling.

I know in the new Windows Live Messenger it sets it to your full name (more like facebook) - it may apply to the mac version too?

[Dean]

Hmm, so you can't change your name on WLM for Windows either?

Tried looking in the preferences? I know that it's a bugger to change on WLM 2011 or whatever it is called for Windows.

Edit: I believe you can but it's like "First Name" and "Last Name", can't confirm as I haven't upgraded yet.

You can't. It takes your Windows Live profile's full name.

I've looked on the other tabs of Preferences but can't find anything...

You can't. It takes your Windows Live profile's full name.

And oh, really?

I have that version installed and if I double click my name it lets me edit it.

Are you sure?

It says it at the very top Dean, click "Edit Profile".

I've tried, it won't let me edit my "display name", just my real name?
