Since the version 2007, Outlook always uses Microsoft Word as e-mail editor. That is Word's powerful library can be used to edit the content of e-mails and other items.
Another advantage is that there is a macro recorder in Word, which you don't have in Outlook. And that means you can record a macro in Word and copy it to your Outlook VBA project.
Most Word macros use the Selection object, which is automatically available in Word. In order to use such a macro in Outlook, you must declare a variable for that object. Additionally, click Tools/References, and set a reference to the "Microsoft Word x.0 Object Library".
This example demonstrates how to get the most important Word objects. Below where the Selection object is set, insert your Word macro. |
Public Sub UseWord()
Dim Ins As Outlook.Inspector
Dim Document As Word.Document
Dim Word As Word.Application
Dim Selection As Word.Selection
Set Ins = Application.ActiveInspector
Set Document = Ins.WordEditor
Set Word = Document.Application
Set Selection = Word.Selection
End Sub
