If you use the object browser (F2 in VBA), you'll see that no Outlook
objects have any kind of Font property. You have two choices -- set the
value of the HTMLBody property using fully tagged HTML code (same as in a
web page) or use oItem.GetInspector.WordEditor to return a Word.Document
object and use Word methods to format it. See

Hello - when I use vba to create an Outlook mail item using Word 2003 as
the
email editor, can I specify the font to be used in my vba macro code?
Right
now it pulls whatever the user has set as the default in Word under Tools
Options General Email Options Personal Stationary. I tried the code
listed below, but it has no effect. Thanks for any suggestions.
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.To = "
.Subject = "MySubject"
'Add the document as an attachment, you can use the .displayname property
'to set the description that's used in the message
.Attachments.Add Source:=ActiveDocument.FullName, Type:=olByValue
.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
.Font.Name = "Verdana"
.Send
End With
