How to get to email from Word
This works perfect!! Wow, nice job. Searched everywhere for something like

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 -- Enjoy, Tony "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... 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 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org . Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: Try .Body = Selection.FormattedText "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... 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 End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org George Lutz wrote: Terry: Thanks, but that had no effect on the result. George Lutz "Terry Farrell" wrote: 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 "George Lutz" wrote in message ... 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. George Lutz "Terry Farrell" wrote: 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 "George Lutz" wrote in message ... Graham's macro works very nicely -- thank you, Graham. Terry: I would like to try your suggestion, but Outlook does not seem to be a Command available to me in Word Options | Customize | All Commands. Where can I find the Command to which you are referring? Thanks. George Lutz "Terry Farrell" wrote: George You can add the Outlook command button to the QAT, just like you can add the Send to Mail Recipient tool to the QAT. Terry Farrell "George Lutz" wrote in message ... 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. George Lutz "Terry Farrell" wrote: 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. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "George Lutz" George wrote in message ... 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 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. George Lutz |
