shortcut to strikethrough the current selected text in a message

[Beth MC]

I'd like a keyboard shortcut or a macro that causes the currently selected
text, in an Outlook 2000 message, to become strikethrough ("struckthrough?").
I perform this operation frequently and find doing
Format->Font->Strikeout->OK to be lengthy.

The only "easy" way to do this involves using Word as your default e-mail
editor. In that case though, you'd be using the Word Object Model, not
Outlook's, to alter the text.

Aside from that, you'd have to use the SafeInspector Object with Redemption
(http://www.dimastr.com) to change the Rich Text formatting for the selection.
