I often use copy and paste to take content from one e-mail and
add it to another. Because of the cost of ink and the limited
knowledge of some of my friends, I usually like to make fonts
smaller and change them from color to black. But I often have a
hard time changing both the font and the color, and sometimes I
can't do either. I'm wondering whether this has something to do
with the originator's programs. In any case, I'd appreciate any
help that you can offer in this area.
Whether you reply or copy/paste, cleaning up formatting in
HTML-based e-mail messages can be tough. Just because the sender
liked pale green text against a background of clouds doesn't
mean your reply needs to be equally illegible. The easiest
solution is to convert the message to plain text and then, if
desired, back to HTML. To do that in Outlook, you would select
Format | Plain Text from the message's menu, click Yes to
confirm you want to discard the formatting, and then select
Format | HTML. Using just the keyboard, you can accomplish this
by typing Alt-O, T, Y, Alt-O, H. In Outlook Express, you'd
select Format | Plain Text, click OK to confirm, then select
Format | Rich Text (HTML). Again, this would be Alt+O, X,
Spacebar, Alt+O, and R on the keyboard. Once you've removed the
unwanted formatting, you can format the remaining text any way
you please.
