OE does have a format menu for composing emails. It's only active if you're composing in HTML or RTF and not Plain Text.----- Original Message ----- From: "Griffiths, Steve" <Steve.Griffiths@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Derek, I think it depends on the email package you use. I don't use Outlook Express but I would guess you can't do it there. In older versions of Microsoft Outlook there was an option to use Word as your email editor which was turned off by default; turning it on could slow the PC down a lot. The option is turned on from the Tools menu, Options, Mail Format page; there's a checkbox near the top of the page. In the latest release, Outlook 2007, Word is set as the email editor and I don't believe you can turn it off. In all versions of Outlook you additionally have a choice between using plain text or html formatted messages, and you'd need the latter for things like centring lines to work.

Org Subject: [access-uk] typing an email Hi All Does anyone know if there is a way to display text in an email as if it was a word document. So for example, can one centre a line of text in an email, if yes how? With Microsoft word one would use the command control+e but this does not work no outlook?
