[Tony Jollans]

Graham,

I know you do other things in Outlook - do you have active event procedures
that might interfere at all? Is it just the paste that fails - can you do
anything with the Document (WordEditor) object, or its Range object? I'm not
sure what else to ask - do you get the OMG prompt (triggered by the
GetInspector)? Does it make a difference if Outlook is already running?

Enjoy,
Tony

Hmmm! That's essentially what Tony suggested, but it doesn't work for me
with either Word 2003 or 2007. Nothing is pasted into the text space,
unless you actually click the paste button or CTRL+V

That'll teach me to not to be so fast in pressing the send button

There appears to be something I am missing?
The modifications do not paste the text into the message here?

Brilliant - thanks

There ought to be a way to use HTMLBody but it isn't entirely
straightforward.

What you can do is address the Word editor in Outlook 2007 and
paste the selection in. The downside to this is that the OMG gives
you a popup but that probably isn't a big issue in a personal
environment. Instead of:

.Body = Selection

Try:

Selection.Copy
.GetInspector.WordEditor.Range.Paste

I had already tried that

The formatting is lost between Word and Outlook and there doesn't
seem to be a way to actually paste into the text area of the
Outlook message window using the macro that I have found ... yet

I can't think of a way to pass the formatting between the
applications using this macro construction. Until someone comes
up with something better, change the line.

.Body = Selection
to
.Body = ""

and paste your formatted selection into the text area.

To cast the net wider I have cross-posted to the programming and
Outlook forums

Sub Send_Extract_As_Mail()
' send the document in an Outlook Email message
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem

'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
If Err 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

In Outlook, go to Tools, Options, select the Mail Format tab
and then click on Editor Options at the bottom.

Select the Advanced tab and then under Cut, Copy Paste
section, make sure that the Keep Source formatting option is
selected. that should then paste and keep your formatting
without need to modify the macro. Terry

Terry -- thanks, I found it.

Graham: Can your macro be modifed so that the text that is
pasted into the email body preserves the formatting it had in
Word? When I run your macro,
bolded text becomes unbolded and tabs disappear.

Thanks.

Right-click anywhere on the QAT and select Customize. In the
customize dialog, select All Commands and scroll down to
Microsoft Outlook.

But I am assuming that you have the whole Office 2007 suit
and not just Word
2007 mixed with Outlook 2003. That combination won't work as
Word 2007 needs
Outlook 2007 for compatibility.

Hope this sorts it for you.

Graham's macro works very nicely -- thank you, Graham.

You can add the Outlook command button to the QAT, just
like you can add
the
Send to Mail Recipient tool to the QAT.

But I don't want to send the entire Word document -- just
the portion
of
it
that is my email. I take notes as I go through the day,
and occasionally
compose an email that I then want to send. The email is
just a small
portion
of the day's notes. So, I compose the email, then cut
and paste its text
into Outlook. The button I used in Word 2003 called up
Outlook, opened
a
blank email, and allowed me to paste in the text I had
prepared in Word.
I
also had a button that called up Outlook with an email
already addressed
to
my assistant, who is the recipient of about half of the
20 or so emails
I
send each day -- very convenient. Amazing that such a
useful feature
would
be eliminated in an "updated" version of Word!

I appreciate your replies. however.

It was never necessary to copy and paste into a blank
email in Outlook.
All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send
to Mail Recipient
tool (in either Word 2002, Word 2003 or Word 2007).

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email
address bar to
the
top of the windows which looks and feels identical to
the blank email
in
Outlook.

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send
Mail to Recipient
to
the QAT because Microsoft inexplicably left it off the
Send Menu.

I just chagned from Word 2003 to Word 2007. In Word
2003, I had an
icon
in
the toolbar that allowed me to call upOutlook. I.e., I
wouudl compose
and
email in word, then select and copy it, then click on
this icno, and
an
email
opened up ready for me to paste in the text. I am
pretty sure I used
the
Customixe feature in 2002 to do this.

How can I get such an icon in 2007 to land in my Quick
Access Toolbar?

Thanks.
