REPOST: Put menu command on Toolbar as button?

[Ed]

In Word and Excel, I can Customize the toolbars and find something under All
Commands and drag it up to the toolbar. I use Edit >> Paste Special, Text
quite a bit in Outlook. Can I put this on the toolbar in Outlook?

Same approach but set Word as your email editor.

IT won't let me. Outlook Rich Text to compose, then everything gets
converted to Plain Text when received and all subsequent replies. I don't
know why they didn't just set up Plain Text to compose, but they've set
something that won't let me choose that option either! So I use the Paste
Special as Text so I can see how it's going to look when received. Maybe I
ought to try a macro?

Before trying to find a technical workaround I would pick this up with your
IT people. Explain how it is limiting your work methods and that it is
counterproductive to you.
