Outlook Macro - TypeText

[Guest]

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,

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

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,

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!"
