Paste Special has always been a Word-only option. Not sure why you say you never used Word as the email editor.

Thanks. I mentioned it because I read elsewhere on the web that that
was the only way to get Paste Special. BUT I have been using Word and
Outlook for years and never set Word as the editor because I did not
even know you could do that.
Regardless, you guys are the gurus. Is there a work-around, macro,
etc. I do this a lot and it is ackward to go back and try to fix it
to use my standard HTML email font (Ariel 10).
You would think applying the Normal style would work, but for some
reason I have to apply a different style first (e.g. Header 3), THEN I
can apply Normal. Even this does not change everything. For
example: Any text copied from word, that was highlighted, stays
highlighted in the HTML email and I have yet to figure out a way to
'un-highlight' it. (Is there a way?).
The only other thing I have come up with is: After you paste in text,
convert email to TEXT, then convert back to HTML, then fix some stuff
manually. Still a big pain.
Any ideas.
Thanks
