I'm assuming you are NOT using Word as your email editor. If you are, I don't know if this will work. I'm also not great with keyboard shortcuts, but here goes: Inside an email you are reading, Alt E to open the Edit menu E to edit the message Alt O to open the Format menu Once the Format menu is open, H changes it to html or T changes it to Plain Text If you convert it to plain text, you get a warning box and have to press Tab and then Enter to select Yes. Hope that helps. Linda F. Johnson Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com All outgoing mail checked by Norton AV.

Chan Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 1:01 AM To: Microsoft Office Subject: [mso] Reading messages in plain text or html Hi, I would like to ask do anyone knows of any VBA code or something similar which I can click to toggle the reading of my messages in html or plain text. I know there's a shortcut key ctrl - shift - o which will convert or strip the html stuff to just plain text in MS Outlook but it seem that I can't find any other shortcut to convert it back or make those plain text messages to read in html. It might seem to be a bizarre or unusual request but its something to do with my screen reader, things I want to do with it but it don't see it the way I wanted to it. So I am just turning into other alternative of making both ends meet. It does not have to be any fancy code behind it, just ask Outlook to make it into html or richtext format from plain text. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
