How do I record macros using keyboad in Outlook

[Guest]

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.

Now I think you are asking a bit much of me but thanks anyway mate.

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?

I agree Walt...this 2007 version is the most user-unfriendly thing I have
ever been subjected to. Everything I did quickly now takes forever or cannot
be accomplished at all. I, like you, had numerous macros as responses to
customer emails. Not only does this option no longer seem to be available in
outlook but all my created macros are now totally gone when I look for them.

I am utterly disgusted with this mess. I'm thinking it's time to go MAC...

John,

You're as good as your name!

I'm not sure why your VBA macros don't work in 2007. Mine work just fine.

If you mean something else, please explain what you really did before.

Maybe they were really Word macros and now need to be converted to Outlook
macros, as described at
