Changing the font body of an outlook task in vba
 

Outlook lets you manipulate the body of outlook tasks: bold, font size, etc.,
but the TaskItem VBA object doesn't seem to have the right properties (like a
mail item) to allow you to maniplate the text's styling programmatically. Is
there a way to do it?

Yes, but not built into Outlook, because it's RTF. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formatmsg.htm for the CDO and Redemption SafeInspector techniques.
