How to best imitate using Word macros in Outlook 2007

[AMolotkov]

In my previous Office 2003 setup, I used Word for email editing,
allowing me to use Word macros to generate common sections of text in
the emails, etc. I see that in Office 2007, the email editor does not
support the Word object model. How do I program a macro that would
allow me to enter a certain text in the Outlook message under 2007?

Thank you.

What happens when you try using the Outlook Macro editor?

What appears is a totally different object model, where it is not clear
how to hook up to the message that is currently open and insert some
text. Any ideas?

Thanks - AM

Your best bet is to ask in an Outlook programming group "down the hall" - the .vba group would probably be best.
