Outlook 2003 would be completely different, since the only time when Word would be used is if the message is in RTF format and Word is the editor. In fact, to get the selection from a received plain text message, you'd need a third-party library (Redemption).

One more question, could this be any different in Outlook 2003 ? Thanks again!

That's the easiest scenario to handle, because Word is always the email editor in Outlook 2007:

Set objOL = Outlook.Application
Set objDoc = objOL.ActiveInspector.WordEditor
Set objWord = objDoc.Application
Set objSel = objDoc.Windows(1).selection
MsgBox objSel.Text

It´s Outlook 2007, it´s a received message in the Inbox.

A piece of tekst marked in a opened email message.

How do I get a marked piece of text in a email into a string in my VBA ?
