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.
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.
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?
