Well, MS is so clever, they put plain text under Options instead of Format. Took me a while to find that as well.

Johnson Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 8:57 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Text formatting in Outlook 2007 OK . I've been looking all over for this and decided to ask you guys .. My default email format is HTML, which is what I usually want, but sometimes I want a certain message to be plain text .. Like messages I send to this group . in previous versions of Outlook, I'd just go to the Format menu inside a new email and change to plain text . but, obviously 2007 doesn't have a Format menu and I can't find any button on the ribbon that lets me do this. I do see the "Clear formatting" button, but that requires that I select the text in the message first, and even when I do that, the header of the message still says "HTML" . is it no longer possible to change a message to plain text or am I missing something here? Thanks. Linda F.
