I am creating a email attachment that is an rtf file. I need this rtf file
modified by a macro so it can be reformatted for the screen. Is there a way
I can 'bury' the macro code in the rtf file and have it actiavted when the
user opens the rtf file in MS Word? This is all internal and the users will
not have to worry about a virus being passed to them.

Thanks for any help....

No. RTF files do not contain macros. Nor, for obvious reasons, is it
acceptable to have 'buried' macros running unannounced on email recipients'
computers. If formatting is all you're concerned with, why not create a PDF?
