Outlook should let me paste special text only to html email. PLEA.

[Hilderbeard]

I frequently copy text from web or other documents and paste into Outlook
(2003) rich text emails. I want to be able to do the same with html email.
Paste special is not an option when pasting into html email.

What's the actual issue you are encountering and in which version of
Outlook?
What happens when you try it now and which behavior were you expecting?
Post exact steps to reproduce.

In outlook 2003, I used to copy the text on the clipboard and then in outlook
message, I used to use the shortcut ALT + E S. This used to paste the
unformated text in the outlook message.

This short cut has been removed in Outlook 2007. instead ALT+S now sends the
messages. This is caused a grief to me by misfiring my messages when I only
wanted to paste some text.

Although the Paste Special is available as expanded menu under Paste button,
switching from keyboard to mouse is time consuming. For someone like me, who
likes to use the keyboard to perform maximum tasks to avoid switching between
kbd and mouse, ALT +S shortcut is problem.
