I am using Office 2003 but am having trouble with quoting messages. I
like the old way I had with a bar on the left showing quoted messages,
which did not go through the spell checker. But since my last
upgrade, I can't quite get rid of all of the bar to enter my own text.
(Sometimes top posting won't work, and I need to post my replies
within the text)
If I do a ctl-a to delete the whole message and start again, I don't
get rid of the whole message - only the text, a vertical bar still
exists, and I am typing in the quote area.
I can't tab over the way I used to to get my cursor off the quote bar.
If the message I'm quoting from is text, it comes with the ">"
indicator as I asked for, but if the message has a format, I can't.
It's so bad that I will do a REPLY ALL, then open a new message,
cutting and pasting everybody I'm replying to over to the new message,
then I can start a new message in plain text mode. Trouble with this
is that if the message I'm replying to had highlighted replies, those
highlights are lost.
I'd love to use the fancy text mode - but I want to be able to enter
text between lines without them being shown as though they were
quoted. I used to be able to do this before I downgraded from
Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.
What am I doing wrong?
