It was easier to create a text macro for a mail message in 2003 because you
just used "record a macro" in word!!!!!
Here's the code;

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Selection.Font.Name = "Comic Sans MS"
Selection.Font.Italic = wdToggle
Selection.TypeText Text:="Hi,"
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText Text:= _
"Thanks for purchase and prompt payment. Will mail Tuesday an"
Selection.TypeText Text:="d it should take around 4 to 7 working days."
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText Text:="Regards"
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText Text:="Steve"
End Sub

What do you mean by "a text macro for email messages" ? Please show the code you already have, to save us the trouble of going over what you already know, and indicate where the error occurs. What was easier in 2003 that you're now trying to accomplish in 2007? Is that what you have? You didn't say explicitly.

Would someone explain to me in "simple English" how to create a text macro
for email messages using VBA. The help files are useless. I get as far as
putting the code in. Then that's it. Macro will not run and comes back with
error message "424" object required.
Life was so much easier with 2003!!!!!
