When I use Outlook 2000 to send an HTML message, I often want to cut and paste
from other documents. The trouble is, the font and color come with the paste.

If I was using Word as my editor, I could use the paintbrush to get this pasted
text to the font I was using. Without using Word, how do I clean up my pasted
attributes?

I installed this, thanks. Since I installed it I haven't explicitly invoked
it,as it appears that I can no longer cut and paste with attributes into
Outlook. I can copy such back and forth within Word though.

Did you configure it to start when you log on to Windows and select a
non-conflicting hotkey to invoke it? I use Windows+V to invoke it and
have the configuration set to paste the plain text when I use it. I've
seen no conflict with other applications, and I past into Outlook all the
time -- usually with formatting, but sometimes without.

Yes. That's the default, although I expect to use the icon next to the clock
to invoke it.

Then I don't know what to suggest. It's working just fine for me, and I
use it quite a bit at work where I do a lot of pasting into Outlook.
