Paste into email retains format

[livetohike]

I often paste text from Word or elsewhere into an outgoing HTML
email. I used to be able to use "Paste Special->Text" such that the
pasted material would acquire the format of the email (as defined in
the Outlook settings). But somehow Paste Special is no longer
available and the pasted material retains its format.

I have to apply the style "Normal" from the message window to fix,
which is a pain. What's up?

Settings:
Outlook 2000, Not using Word to edit, HTML, Ariel, 10 for Forward/
Reply/Text, "Always use my font", "Include original message text",

You'll need to set Word as the email editor for that feature.

Thanks, but don't think so. I have never use Word as email editor and
was able to use this option.
Then why is "Paste Special->Text" a listed option in the Edit menu?
