This new user is having a problem with the fonts.
I have entered a default font but when I paste text
into the message the pasted text prevails over the
default text. How do I change this?
Thanks in advance.

That is the default behavior of OE. If you paste in text and want it to be
changed to your chosen font, you will have to highlight the text and then
change it using the Formatting Bar.

There are some workarounds.

One is to paste into Notepad, the select the text there and copy/paste
from Notepad into OE. That will strip the font information.

An easier way to accomplish the same thing is to use this program
PureText

I find it very handy.
