Outlook Macro - TypeText
Hello!
I need to write a simple macro for Outlook 2007. I would like it to simply insert several lines of text in the active message window. In Outlook/Word 2003, I used the selection.typetext command. What would I use in Outlook 2007? If it matters, the messages are (and need to be) plain text. Thanks in advance! Kind Regards,

Outlook Macro - TypeText
You should be able to use the same technique in Outlook 2007, since Word is always the editor.

Outlook Macro - TypeText
Hello!
Thanks for the reply. Here was my previous code: ~~~~~~~~~ Sub InsertText() Selection.TypeText Text:="Hello!" End Sub ~~~~~~~~~ However, VBA does not now recognize the 'application' object, and I get an error message "Object Required" Thank you, "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You should be able to use the same technique in Outlook 2007, since Word is always the editor. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Kooltou" wrote in message ...

Outlook Macro - TypeText
Your previous code was apparently a Word macro, not an Outlook macro. In an Outlook macro, you must first return a Word.Document object from the current item. For example:
Set objDoc = Application.ActiveInspector.WordEditor Set objSel = objDoc.Windows(1).Selection objSel.TypeText Text:="Hello!" -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Kooltou" wrote in message ...
