How to remove ™ © from Outlook 2010
We have a user that has a Logitech mouse with a lot of buttons and they have two buttons setup for ™ © when writing reports but they hit it by accident when in Outlook 2010 and want it turned off.
We were able to do this in Word 2010 with the Customize Keyboard options and then remove them but there isn't the Customize Keyboard button under Customize the Ribbon in Outlook 2010. Any help removing ™ © from Outlook would be greatly appreciated.

Let me check the Logitech Add-ins in Outlook or if anyone has example VBA code, that would be great.

No go on the Logitech Add-in
Example VBA stub, put into the ThisOutlookSession VBA module:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
Item.Body = Replace(Replace(Item.Body, "™", ""), "©", "")
End If
End SubASKER
I tried the sample VBA but no go unfortunately.
Did you put into the ThisOutlookSession module, as mentioned?
Is executing macros allowed in Outlook options?
It works for me, but it changes the formatting. I'm currently looking into this.

"Did you put into the ThisOutlookSession module, as mentioned?

Yes and macros is allowed. When the buttons are pressed on the logitech mouse, the ™ © still come up. Okay, let me try the new code and update back.

The VBA code does not prevent those characters to be inserted, only to be sent.

Only to be sent? I am trying to get it so that when they press those buttons on the mouse by accident, they will not insert into Outlook.
That is what I said in http:#a40705157:
Other than that, you are left to write VBA code to remove the unwanted chars on send or save.
You cannot intercept input that easily. VBA does not have any means, AFAIK, unless you are using specific form controls you can register KeyPress event handlers on.

Okay, well if there isn't a way from stopping it from inputting then this will be the best option. I will add it in. Thank you.
