Is there a way to create a macro that will automatically recognize a
highlighted word in an Outlook message, copy it, go to Wikipedia. com, paste
the word into the search box, and click enter?

Thanks in Advance,

Not *automatically*. It's possible by trapping the WindowSelectionChange
event in Word - IF you use Word as your e-mail editor and you trap the
Insepctors.NewInspector event to instantiate the Word.Application object.

Otherwise, you need to use the SafeInspector object in Redemption
(http://www.dimastr.com) to determine what is selected - but only via some
other action (send an e-mail, clicking a button, etc.) as editor events
aren't exposed.
