Keeping hyperlinked text bold when pasting into e-mail

[Larry]

I have hyperlinked text in Word. It's bold. I copy it into an Outlook
Express e-mail, and it turns into regular (non-bold). This appears to
be a built in feature of OE, that it treats bold hyperlinked text as
non-bold. This makes sense for most purposes.

But if I want some particular hyperlinked text to remain bold when
pasted into an e-mail, there any formatting I can add to the hyperlinked
text to make this happen?

Thanks,
Larry

Assuming you are sending in HTML, highlight the link in the new message and click the *B* for Bold in the Format bar, and you will see:
(e-mail address removed) rather than: (e-mail address removed)

Hi Larry,

Are you using Plain Text for sending? To maintain formatting use Rich Text (HTML) for sending. Let's see how this works.

I found the answer. I apply the default paragraph to the hyperlink so it
won't be hyperlink style anymore, then I apply the font characteristics
I want including the bold, and now the bold "sticks" when I paste into
an e-mail. I have no idea why this works, but it works.

Bruce, thanks, but I know how to make text in an e-mail bold by manually
formatting it. I wanted the existing bold formatting to stick with the
text when I pasted it into the e-mail, so that I wouldn't have to
reformat.
