can anyone help how to follow the instruction from microsoft on dynadot to complete the domain varification process?

----------------------------------------------

Use the table and instructions below to create a TXT record for a domain that is registered at your domain registrar. For general instructions about verifying a domain, see Verify a domain at any domain name registrar.

Create a TXT record at your domain registrar

Note: Your domain registrar’s website may differ from that described in these instructions.

Alias or Host Name

Destination or Points to Address

TTL

@

MS=ms67xxxxxx

1 Hour

1.Sign in to your domain registrar’s website, and then select the domain that you’re verifying.
2.In the DNS management area for your account, choose the option to add a TXT record for your domain.
3.In the TXT box for the domain, type the following: @
4.In the Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or Points to box, type the following: MS=ms67xxxxxx
5.Where it asks for TTL information, type the following: 1 Hour
6.Save your changes, and then sign out of your domain registrar’s website. Wait at least 15 minutes for this change to take effect.
7.Return to Office 365 and click the Verify button below.

Note:
Typically it takes about 15 minutes for your changes to take effect. However, it can take up to 72 hours for the record that you created to propagate through the DNS system.

How do I enter a TXT record for my domain?

A TXT (text) record is used to store arbitrary text data about a domain. It's commonly used for verifying domain ownership, setting up email authentication (SPF, DKIM), etc.

To enter a TXT record for your domain, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and then "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS Settings page, select the "Dynadot DNS" setting from the top drop-down menu.
Under the "Domain Record (optional)" section, select "TXT" from the "Record Type" drop-down.
Specify your TXT record in the "IP Address or Target Host" box.
Press the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.

Note:

If you have been instructed to add an "@", this simply means that the record should be entered under the "Domain Record (optional)" section. The "@" itself should not be entered.
If your host provides you with a Host Name/Alias other than the "@" or the domain itself, please add the TXT record under the "Subdomain Record (optional)" section, and fill the Host Name value under the "Subdomain" box.
If you have already set name servers for your domain, please add the TXT record in your hosting control panel rather than your Dynadot account.

Sorry, @teamdynadot, but I'm still stuck. Microsoft indicates to create a TXT record with the following values:
=====
Name: @
Value: MS=ms******** (masked - it's ms followed by 8 digits)
TTL: 1 hour
=====
In the DNS Settings page, under Custom DNS, TXT just has one field to fill in called "IP Address or Target Host" - what do I put in that field? Is it the Value (MS=ms********) only, or something else? Right now, the only text I have in the "IP Address or Target Host" field is (without quotes) "MS=ms********". Please help ... thanks!

Name @ means the setting is for the root domain, you can add the record to the upper main section under Custom DNS. Yes, the Value (MS=ms********) should be added to the field under "IP Address or Target Host".
