HTML in Appointment Body

[BigDubb]

I am tring to dynamically build a body of an appointment via a custom built
AddIn.

Does anyone know how I might be able to pass markup into that property and
have it render on the appointment?

ie.
Outlook.Appointment.Body = "<b>Hello World!</b>"

renders exactly as it's entered into the string

That's normal and expected behavior, given that AppointmentItem bodies are
RTF, not HTML.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=31 for your options. If you
need more specifics, we'll need your Outlook version.

Thanks. I'm digging into this. IT seems pretty easy if I"m using outlook
2007.

Yes, because Word is always the editor in Outlook 2007 appointments, you can
use Inspector.WordEditor to return a Word.Document object and then do
whatever you want with that content (and that includes leveraging whatever
you learn from recording Word macros).
