How does one use the keyboard to record a macros in Outlook. Using the same
method as in Word does not seem possible

Outlook has no macro recorder, as far as I know.

Thanks Brian. I know one can do it, but it seems that one needs a knowledge
of programming which I, as a 70 year old do not possess

Brian is right, there's no macro recorder in Outlook.

It's never too late to learn. A good source is here:

With all respect, may I point out that this is a huge downgrade from Office
2003? I process registrations by email for a charitable group. Formerly, I
could send out standard replies to online registratios using a macro. So,
with a few mouse clicks and by typing a few words into a Run Macro box, I
could type a 200 word email (same 200 words every time). Now to accomplish
the same thing, I have to open a Word document out on the disk in a subfolder
of a subfolder of my My Documents folder (not practical to keep everything in
the root if you deal with a lot of stuff as I do), Select All the contents,
Copy, switch back to Outlook, select the message body, and paste. That is a
pain! Why in the name of Pete did Microsoft do this to us?
