I often get emails that I need to reply to by inserting comments in-line but using a different colour.So after reading the email, I click on Reply and scroll down to the original text and enter a few carriage returns to leave space for my comment. Then I format the style of these new lines as "Normal" so my text is not indented like the original text.Then I type my reply, highlight it and click on the "Font Color" button and then click on the colour I want. This changes the colour of what I wrote so it is clear that it is my response.But is there a way to make the "Font Color" button remember what colour font I want to use?For example. Is there an ALT-<key> that automatically changes the selected text to the last used colour?Thanks for any help.Roger.1 person needs an answerI do too

There is nothing in OE that will make it easy for you to do, but this tool might. It's designed for use with plain text, but I believe the color issue would work with HTML as well.

Thanks Bruce. I've had a play with it and it does work well with Plain Text replies, but not so good with Rich Text.So I had a go at writing another macro using AutoHotKey and it works perfectly. Here's the macro:#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future ; AutoHotkey releases.SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.SetTitleMatchMode, 2 ; Can match any bit of titleSetMouseDelay, 30 ; ms to recognise each mouse clickSetKeyDelay, 60 ; ms Delay between sending each keyIfWinExist Re: ; Check if a window title containing "Re: " exists{ WinActivate ; Make this window the active window KeyWait, LButton, D ; Wait left mouse button to be pressed down. KeyWait, LButton, U ; Wait left mouse button to be released WinGetActiveTitle, Title ; Check window being clicked in StringLeft, Title, Title, 4 ; Only 4 left chars can be checked - "Re: " If (Title = "Re: ") ; If this is a Reply window { Send {Enter}{Enter}{Enter}{Enter}{Enter} ; Add 5 blank lines Send {Up}{Up} ; Go back to middle one Send !OY{Enter} ; Alt-O (format), Y (style), Enter - normal Send !OF!CR!S12{Enter} ; Alt-O (format), F (font), Alt-C (colour), ; R - red, Alt-S size, 12, Enter } else { MsgBox Error - Wrong Window - "%Title%" } }else MsgBox Error - No 'Re: ' Window{ Exit}(Sorry about the formatting - can't use a smaller font.)When this macro is run, I click in my reply message at the end of a line of text, a blank line appears ready for me to type in, with a couple of extra lines before and after just to make my insert more obvious.The text I enter is normal style, red and size 12.
