Michael:

Thanks for responding. Your suggestion works if I use Outlook's editor to
edit my emails, but I am using Word so that I have better access to the
special formatting Word provides. Is their a way to do this in Word? I
haven't been able to find one. Again, if I can't do it through the menu, then
I am willing to try to use VBA code with some event in Word to convert the
doc to HTML when Outlook opens it for replying or forwarding.

Any ideas?
