Hi Michael,

I tried the following and Word still doesn't launch. Any other thoughts?

Set wrdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If wrdApp Is Nothing Then
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add()
End If

First try GetObject. If that fails then Word isn't running and you can
launch it with CreateObject.

Hi Michael,

I couldn't get Word to start using the following code from Outlook. What
am
I missing?
Set wrdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add()

I also couldn't figure out how to retrieve the value in the
EmailOptions.EmailSignature entry called *PickUpMailSig" from within
Word.

So I created an AutoTextEntry so I can insert the signatu

returnValue =

wrdApp.Activedocument.AttachedTemplate.AutotextEnt ries("*PickUpMailSig").Value

But the above code only works when Word is already opened. But when Word
is
not opened, it doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

Outlook's object model doesn't provide you with any Signature objects.
But
you can use Word's model, please see EmailSignature object in Object
Browser
for its proeprties.

In the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor, how do I get a signature name

that's already been entered and saved under Outlook Tools|Options|Mail
FormatSignatures?
