Thanks for the reply and the pointer to Slipstick Linda. See below:

I guess I'm not able to adequately convey what I'm looking for. Just so to
pass the gist of my request correctly, here is what I'm looking to do:

With Entourage, I gained the habit of responding to specific parts of an
email by breaking up the email message into parts and responding to
individual sections (like the above quote).

I'm already using Word as the editor but it doesn't seem to address these
functions. There is a distinct advantage, when replying to sections of text,
as in the above snippet, to be able to re-wrap the text so it doesn't look
all funky. The above section, with "re-wrapping applied, would look like
this:
>All I can say is if you want the MOST features available in Outlook, go
into >Tools>Options>Mail Format and set Word up as your email editor.... I
don't usually >recommend this cuz I think Word is overkill for email, but
its find/replace utility, and >formatting abilities, etc., are way more
advanced than anything you're going to find in >Outlook, so this might help
you.
Notice how the wrapping is a little more tight? Also, if attempting to break
up a quoted paragraph in the middle, like below, how do you paste it or
simply make it quoted ( > ) without manually inserting the > character at
the beginning of each line?
>I don't usually >recommend this cuz I think Word is overkill for email, but
its >find/replace utility, and >formatting abilities, etc., are way more
advanced than >anything you're going to find in >Outlook, so this might help

Thanks again though.
