Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
I've never had any problem selecting the text and copying using Ctrl+C. Does
that not work for you? -- Suzanne S.

Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
I have this same problem and can find no way to highlight text in an email.
All I get is the hand, not the regualr cursor. Zugig "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I've never had any problem selecting the text and copying using Ctrl+C. Does that not work for you? -- Suzanne S.

Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
Well, admittedly I use Outlook Express, not Outlook, as my mail client, but
this sounds strange to me. -- Suzanne S.

Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
Should I take that to mean that this is not an actual feature of Outlook? I
had assumed it is because the email is displayed as HTML, but I had them converted to plain text and I can't pick that up either. Is there someone at Microsoft who can tell me how to enable that ability? Thanks, Z "Suzanne S.

Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
Although it shouldn't make any difference, have you opened the e-mail
message or are you just previewing it? The conversion from html shouldn't make any difference either. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Zugig wrote: Should I take that to mean that this is not an actual feature of Outlook?

Outlook 2007 Copying, pasting text in email
Graham, I have the same problem whether I am in the previewer or have opened
the email. The only wat to actually highlight and select text is to forward the email, which then makes everything available for highlighting in the forwarding window. But I still then can't close that, go back to the received email and do the same thing. Sounds like the original poster had the same problem. Suzanne, I will go peruse the Outlook forum but I found this thread by searching for "copy text from email Outlook" so I should have found anything there, right? Thank you both.
