Hello

I do not really know much about VBA and macros and Outlook does not even
have a macro recorder.

So I recorded the following macro in Word and inserted it into Outlook but
it doesn't work of course.

Could sm kindly indicate the problem or better still correct it?

The macro should search for the word "Sergic" in messages.

Thanks in advance

PS I'm pretty sure I can install it once it is written.

That's not possible, since you neither posted any code nor stated exactly what your goal is.

Oops a daisy

Here is the code (that doesn't work) to find the word 'Sergic' in messages.

Sorry about that.

Can anyone now help correct it please?

Thanks

"find ... in messages" or "find in the currently open message" There's a world of difference. Please provide a complete description of what you're really trying to accomplish, in what version of Outlook, and with Word or Outlook as your default email editor.

Hi

Well, normally it is "find in the currently open message" (as I use Copernic
desktop search for major searches thru multiple messages/folders

I have Office 2003 and I use Outlook as my default mail editor so the macro
has to work in Outlook.

I simply want to find the word 'Sergic' in certain messages that I open.

Hope this is all you need this time.

Thanks

Dave Neve

So, what functionality are you looking for that the Edit | Find command doesn't give you?

None.

I simply want to execute the macro with a single click and without needing
to type in the search word every time.

There's nothing simple about that at all. In fact, it can't be done in VBA without either a SendKeys kludge or a third-party programming library, Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), which exposes the necessary methods and properties in its SafeInspector object. Even with Redemption, I think you'll need to write code for three different editors, for the three different mail formats.

Maybe a quick-and-dirty alternative in your case is to use a combination of CommandBars techniques (see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/commandbarfun.htm) and SendKeys to automate the Find command directly.
