Cut and paste from Word to OE

I sometimes need to cut and paste a form or a letter (that has several indents, etc.) from Word to Outlook Express in the main body of the email (not as an attachment). When I do this (right click "paste ") I get the message "your security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly ". Not correctly is right--the paragraphs are all messed up with extra spaces plus the indents are out of whack. Any suggestions? I'm not that familiar with Active X controls and don't want to make any changes to my Outlook Express settings until I have some expert advice!

I will appreciate hearing back ASAP as I have to get a form into the body of an email today.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

 

It is set to Rich Text.

 

I did some experimenting with this and mine works alright with no issues. Try this to eliminate this from being the cause:

Do the following while in Outlook Express:
>Tools
>Options
>Click on the Security Tab
>Under "Virus Protection" in the Security zone, move the option to Internet Zone instead of Restricted sites zone. Make sure you have a good anti virus though to check all your incoming e-mail. It could be that some of the macros in word are being seen as a virus in OE.
