make hypertext stick in outlook 2010 quick steps

In Outlook 2010 I have some generic text I send to people each week. It's a message that has links in it to some help pages on our company intranet. But when I use Quick Steps to create this message, and I copy the text from Word, where the links work perfectly, Quick Steps will keep the text but strip the formatting so I need to keep copying from Word and pasting into the Outlook email in order for the links to stay active. Is there a way to create a Quick Step in Outlook 2010 that will keep the links in tact?

Thanks,

It appears that HTML email isn't part of Outlook 2010 quick steps (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/how-to-reply-to-emails-in-html-format-using-quick/bb67a76f-c427-4ed8-bc06-5b0d4c4c4e65)

I don't have Outlook 2010, but it looks like it might be possible to get around this limitation by editing the quick step after you make it. See http://classroom.synonym.com/insert-hyperlinked-quick-step-outlook-2010-15232.html

Thanks for the link, but it only talks about how to edit a Quick Step, even though the title says add hyperlink to a Quick Step, it doesn't do that.

EUREKA!!!!!! This was exactly what I was looking for! The Expert gave me a solution that worked perfectly, and the coding was easy, just copy and paste and make some small adjustments. This solves the problem of not being able to use HTML in an Outlook email. Fantastic solution and saves me a ton of time.
