I was asked to create a series of documents in Word that includes data pasted
from the clipboard when the Word macro is run. To satisfy all the
requirements, I changed the Outlook mail format to HTML using MS Word to Edit
Email Msgs. We receive some email that takes FOREVER to open in Word when
forwarded (daily procedure), so we need to be able to easily uncheck the MS
Word to Edit Email Msgs box before forwarding these messages and easily
re-check that box. They are used to having buttons on the toolbar to perform
macros and other tasks, so that's why I need a macro in Outlook. I know how
to create a macro in Word and can fake my way through some VBA, but I don't
know where to start to have an Outlook macro change the mailformat for me.

Hi Maureen. If you're dealing with these settings at a program level, see my
post he

Outlook's Message Format Settings In The Registry:

For a specific message, you will have to automate clicking the choices under
the Format menu by using CommandBar and CommandBarButton objects from the
Office Object Model. However, you have to switch to Plain Text in between.
So HTML - Plain Text - Rich Text - Plain Text - HTML. Why do you need to
do this?
