I am designing a Word Form and would like very much to be able to have a
macro that automatically sets the mail recipient, sets the subject as one of
the form fields, and contains the formatted table/text in the body of the
email.

Can it be done? Any fraction thereof?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I've read that article.

The routing slip at least lets me assign a subject and recipient, but I
really want to be able to send the formatted text in the body of the email.

The second method won't really work either because I don't wan to loose all
formatting.

I know that maintaining the formatting is possible, because I can do that by
going to "File - Send To - Mail Recipient". I just want to make this form
idiot proof by populating the recipient, and subject.

I very much appreciate your reply, though.

The only way to ensure that the recipient sees the document, formatted
exactly as you have it, is to send it as an attachment. And even then, it
probably should be as a .pdf file.
