If the Outlook editor is being used and the format is HTML you can use
IHTMLDocument and HTML code to paste text, etc. Something like this:

If ((Not (oItem.GetInspector.IsWordMail )) And (Left(oItem.Application, 2) =
"11")) Then
' tested and is OL editor and is OL 11
If oItem.GetInspector.EditorType = olEditorHTML Then
Dim oHTML As MSHTML.IHTMLDocument2
Set oHTML = oItem.GetInspector.HTMLEditor
' now use HTML code
