That tells us a little bit about what you're doing. But what you are actually trying to accomplish by doing that? GIve us the big picture.

In the meantime, if you want to work with formatted text, then you need to be working with the HTMLBody property, not Body, and using full HTML tags, as web pages do.

Outlook 2002, flexible regarding the Word

I create a message in VBA and I the assign the Subject and the body

HTML


I want to set the body of the message without losing the formatting.
Currently the default appearance (signature and background) of the
message
disappears once I set the body.

Any clue of how to deal with that?
