I have no options in Outlook to highlight text. I do have these options in Word. What I've been doing, which is a pain, is copy a block of text to Word, highlight it, then copy it to Outlook. But, isn't it the same editor that's available to both so why don't I just have it in Outlook? What I do have is font name, size, color but no highlight. I've tried Tools->Customize->Format but it's not there. My text choices are plain and rich (if that's relevant; HTML is not a choice).

Thanks.
