If you open the new message; select View/From Field, that field should show
up. Use Shift-Tab and you should immediately end up in an edit box ready for
you to enter whatever addy you want. That option in the view menu, by the
way, is one that will stay selected from session-to-session. 

Looks like you can use Alt+R as a hot key. 

Let me know if this works.

I opened a new message, then hit altV for view. The only option it's giving
me there is whether or not I want the from field at all--not an option for
what I put in the from field in therms of a label. Suggestions?

You can edit the contents, but not the fielname itself. Open new message and
then View/From Field.

If I understand correctly, your wanting to change the contents of the from
field, not the tag From on the field.  In other words, sometime you want the
field to appear like this:

From:  Kimberly Morrow, PhD

And other times you want it to appear as:

From:  Message of Hope

Is this correct?

If so, the only two ways I know to do this are:
1)      Create different accounts in Outlook for each e-mail account.  This
would mean creating a different e-mail address for your personal e-mail and
your ministry as well.  You can easily do this with RoadRunner, Gmail,
Yahoo, etc.  Then you would switch between the two accounts to check the
messages.
2)      Go into the account properties and change the display name (I think
that's what it's called) to the one you want to show at that time.

You cannot edit the From field when you are composing a message, at least
not so far as I know.  However, some of the more e-mail knowledgeable folks
on this list may know differently.  If so, it would be nice to be able to do
this.

Hi Robert,

Not sure what's up with my Outlook; it's not placing the entire message in
the message field!!! 

I want to change the "from" field to a different name in an occasional email
message--but not always--just once in a while. Sometimes I want the email to
say it's from me; at other times, I want it to say it's from my ministry
(Message of Hope).  I see where you can tab and edit the to, cc, bcc and
subject fields. However, I don't know how to locate and edit the from field.

Thanks,

Kim

Kim,

Your message is not clear.  What exactly are you wanting to do and in which
program?
