Default How to get to email from Word

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.

Default How to get to email from Word

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.

Default How to get to email from Word

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.

Unfortunately Outlook 2007 doesn't use all of Word 2007 as the email
editor - it uses a stub. Therefore you can't do what you used to do in 2003
in the same way.
However, I don't understand why you would compose an email in Word and then
paste the text into an email - why not just write the text directly into a
new email message?

Because in my Word document, I use macros that greatly simplify my composing
of the email. E.g., if I want to send an email to Jennifer, my ETJ macro
prepares the header, including To: Jennifer, From: George, it inputs the
client name into a line, etc. Then I sue another macro to select and
copy the whole email, hit the button that apparently no longer exists in
2007, then hit Control-V to insert everything into the blank email template.

I suspect what you are looking for is the 'Send To Mail Recipient' command
which you can add to the QAT.
or
You can select the text you want in your e-mail and run the following macro

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

On Error Resume Next

'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

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

'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.to = "
.Subject = InputBox("Subject?")
.Body = Selection
.Display
End With
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub

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.

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.

Outlook 2007 for compatibility.

Hope this sorts it for you.

You can add the Outlook command button to the QAT, just like you can add
the

I
also had a button that called up Outlook with an email already

I appreciate your replies. however.

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

to
the QAT because Microsoft inexplicably left it off the Send Menu.

Default How to get to email from Word

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.

Default How to get to email from Word

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

On Error Resume Next

'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

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

'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.to = "
.Subject = InputBox("Subject?")
.Body = Selection
.Display
End With
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing

All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send to

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send Mail

Default How to get to email from Word

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

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

All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send

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

Default How to get to email from Word

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,

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.

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send

Default How to get to email from Word

The only thing I do in Outlook is extract a line of code from a daily e-mail
and paste it into a Word table, using a variation of the code we discussed
on an earlier occasion.

I don't appear to be able to do anything in code with the object.

I don't get an OMG (?) prompt or any other prompt or error message. The
Outlook message window opens the addressee and subject are filled and (if
nothing is entered in the ".Body =" line) the default theme is used. The
cursor is in the body area and nothing is pasted. Pressing CTRL V or
clicking the Paste button pastes the formatted text.

I don't know if it is a clue, but if I enter
..GetInspector
and then a period vba prompts with the options - including
..WordEditor
If I add a period to the end of that, there isn't the usual prompt offering
..Range etc (though it doesn't baulk at its addition).

It doesn't make any difference whether or not Outlook is running.

Graham,

I know you do other things in Outlook - do you have active event

fails - can you do anything with the Document (WordEditor) object, or

prompt (triggered by the GetInspector)? Does it make a difference if
Outlook is already running?

That is normal. The intellisense doesn't recognise "WordEditor" as returning
a Document object - nor, for that matter, do people until they are told.

Interesting that you don't get the OMG (Object Model Guard) prompt. Unless
you are running ClickYes or some equivalent, the implication (I think, and
to some extent confirmed by the fact that you can't do anything with the
object) is that you are not connecting to Outlook properly. I'm sorry but I
don't have a clue why that might be.

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.

Default How to get to email from Word

I am not running ClickYes or anything else I can think of that may interfere
and otherwise I do have a normal interface between Outlook and Word and vice
versa. When I have time to waste I'll repair Office and see if that improves
things. In the meantime, it is no big deal for me as the issue arose out of
a third party query and at least the third party seems to have it working

That is normal. The intellisense doesn't recognise "WordEditor" as
returning a Document object - nor, for that matter, do people until
they are told.
Interesting that you don't get the OMG (Object Model Guard) prompt.
Unless you are running ClickYes or some equivalent, the implication
(I think, and to some extent confirmed by the fact that you can't do
anything with the object) is that you are not connecting to Outlook
properly. I'm sorry but I don't have a clue why that might be.

The only thing I do in Outlook is extract a line of code from a daily

we discussed on an earlier occasion.

I don't appear to be able to do anything in code with the object.

I don't get an OMG (?) prompt or any other prompt or error message.
The Outlook message window opens the addressee and subject are
filled and (if nothing is entered in the ".Body =" line) the default
theme is used. The cursor is in the body area and nothing is pasted.
Pressing CTRL V or clicking the Paste button pastes the formatted
text. I don't know if it is a clue, but if I enter
.GetInspector
and then a period vba prompts with the options - including

You might find the recent discussion at http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.a...essageid=26382 useful, as it was on a similar subject.

I don't know if it is a clue, but if I enter
.GetInspector
and then a period vba prompts with the options - including
.WordEditor
If I add a period to the end of that, there isn't the usual prompt offering

Declare a Word.Document object and instantiate it:

Dim objDoc as Word.Document
Dim objDoc = MyMessage.GetInspector.WordEditor

You'll then get intellisense for objDoc.

If I add a period to the end of that, there isn't the usual prompt

Declare a Word.Document object and instantiate it:

Dim objDoc as Word.Document
Dim objDoc = MyMessage.GetInspector.WordEditor

You'll then get intellisense for objDoc.

The only thing I do in Outlook is extract a line of code from a
daily e-mail and paste it into a Word table, using a variation of
the code we discussed on an earlier occasion.

I don't appear to be able to do anything in code with the object.

I don't get an OMG (?) prompt or any other prompt or error message.
The Outlook message window opens the addressee and subject are
filled and (if nothing is entered in the ".Body =" line) the default
theme is used. The cursor is in the body area and nothing is pasted.
Pressing CTRL V or clicking the Paste button pastes the formatted
text.

What you can do is address the Word editor in Outlook 2007 and

Default How to get to email from Word

Sue

The suggestion set the little cogs in motion

The following now does work to paste the formatted text into the body of the
message, and I have added a routine to grab the addressee information from
Outlook. However while it does work when Outlook is running already, it
usually crashes Word when Outlook is supposed to be started from the macro.

Sub Send_Extract_As_EMail()
' send the document in an Outlook Email message
' 2007 Graham Mayor, Tony Jollans, Doug Robbins
' & Sue Mosher

Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objDoc As Word.Document
Dim strEMail As String

strEMail = "PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS"
'Let the user choose the contact from Outlook
'And assign the email address to a variable

strEMail = Application.GetAddress("", strEMail, _
False, 1, , , True, True)
If strEMail = "" Then
MsgBox "User cancelled or no address listed", , "Cancel"
End If

On Error Resume Next

'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

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

'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set objDoc = oItem.GetInspector.WordEditor
With oItem
.to = strEMail
.Subject = InputBox("Subject?")
Selection.Copy
objDoc.Range.Paste
.Display
End With

'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub

I don't know if it is a clue, but if I enter

If I add a period to the end of that, there isn't the usual prompt
offering .Range etc (though it doesn't baulk at its addition).

Declare a Word.Document object and instantiate it:

Dim objDoc as Word.Document
Dim objDoc = MyMessage.GetInspector.WordEditor

You'll then get intellisense for objDoc.

I don't get an OMG (?) prompt or any other prompt or error message.
The Outlook message window opens the addressee and subject are
filled and (if nothing is entered in the ".Body =" line) the
default theme is used. The cursor is in the body area and nothing
is pasted. Pressing CTRL V or clicking the Paste button pastes the

the OMG prompt (triggered by the GetInspector)? Does it make a

Default How to get to email from Word

It just crashes without any vba error message - just the Word has
encountered an error and needs to close message, followed by the fault
reporting screen. Word then restarts.

The error occurs after the prompt for the Subject so presumably the fault
lies at

Selection.Copy
objDoc.Range.Paste
..Display

On the few occasions when it doesn't crash, the selected formatted text is
not pasted into the message window.

When Outlook is already running in the background, the macro works as
intended in both Word 2003 and 2007 (both with Outlook 2007).

Default How to get to email from Word

It would be helpful if you would step through the code and pinpoint the issue more exactly.

Also, I would suggest a bit more precision in setting where to paste the copied content:

oItem.Display
Set objDoc = oItem.GetInspector.WordEditor
Set objSel = objDoc.Windows(1).Selection
objSel.Paste
