Thanks for the note. I think this is the page you mentioned, which is very
useful:
http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=59

However, Most of the points about the new WordEditor don't seem to either
apply to me or indicate that I should be able to do what I mentioned in my
first e-mail. I installed Outlook 2007 and Word 2007 at the same time, so I
should have at least the majority of the methods and properties available.

Under the header "Word as the item editor", it says:
"...Inspector.WordEditor will return a Word.Document object for any type of
Outlook item, except NoteItem, making it possible to use Word methods to
insert text and graphics, insert a QuickPart, format text, apply a theme, and
perform other item body tasks that were difficult if not impossible to
perform in the past."

I can achieve similar behavior by opening an e-mail, then selecting "Edit
Message" under the "Actions-Other Actions" toolbar. Shouldn't I be able to
do this via VBA? This seems like basic functionality, regardless if it's a
lightweight or heavyweight version of the Word editor.

Thanks!

There are issues with things not working in WordMail 2007 and even more
things don't work if Word and Outlook are from different SKU's or from
certain versions of Office. See the discussion of WordMail limitations on
the page of issues for developers at www.outlookcode.com.

You might have to find a different way of doing what you want or it might
not be doable.
