You lost me there. "just clicking the mouse ... and inserting the link" sounds like something that you want the user to do. What's the programmatic component?

You may find it useful to use the Word macro recorder to get to know Word's methods better. Most recorded Word macros use an intrinsic Selection object. To adapt them for Outlook add-in use, you'd need to return a Word.Selection object using the approach in my sample.

Thanks Sue

Will that work even if there is not any text selected? For example if I
wanted to insert a link that would specify an article of the web at a specifc
point in the document - could I do this by just clicking the mouse at a
specific point and then inserting the link at that position in the document.
The add-in that I have designed adds reference links to the document so that
the recipient can access documents that are availble on the web.

You'd edit the document with Word methods. For example, the VBA sample at http://outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1571 demonstrates how to obtain the insertion point (Word.Selection) and insert a quick part (replacement for AutoText).

My mistake - I am getting the word document the debugger got me. Now All I
have to do is figure out how to edit the document. ;-(

Hello,

I am in the process of upgrading one of our add-ins to Outlook 2007. This
specific add-in made use of the HTML editor which we used to add HTML
elements to the document. I have discovered that the “GetHtmlEditor” method
no longer works and we have to use the Word Editor to edit the document. The
problem is that I try to get the word editor and the method fails. In other
words the following call no longer works.

CComQIPtrMSWord::_Document spDoc = m_pInspector-GetWordEditor();

I want to get the HTML document if possible.

It there a way to edit the HTML document anymore? Does anybody have any
experience with this?

Thanks for your help,
Tom -
