Hi Maureen. If you're dealing with these settings at a program level, see
my
post he

Outlook's Message Format Settings In The Registry:
http://blogs.officezealot.com/legaul...8/03/1324.aspx

For a specific message, you will have to automate clicking the choices
under
the Format menu by using CommandBar and CommandBarButton objects from the
Office Object Model. However, you have to switch to Plain Text in
between.
So HTML - Plain Text - Rich Text - Plain Text - HTML. Why do you need
to
do this?

Since the majority of the time we need HTML format and Use Word as Email
Editor, that's the default. When I open a message that I want to forward, I
have no choices available when I click on Format.

Certainly; this option is already there and if you didn't know about it, you
don't need any code.

With an open message, select the format you want from the Format menu. Note
that Rich Text will not be listed if the current format is HTML, and vice
versa. You need to switch to Plain Text when converting between Rich Text
and HTML back and forth.

Frankly, I never used that method and had to run a little test... :-)

No, you first need to click on Forward.

This little sample creates the forward mail and switches the format:

Sub test111()
Dim mail As MailItem
Set mail = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Forward
If mail.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML Then
mail.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
Else
mail.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
End If
End Sub

You could add your own button to the toolbar and run that code by clicking
the button.

When I click on Forward that's when it takes FOREVER for the message to open
in Word. I need to change the format before clicking on Forward.

Maybe I can go at it another way. Do you know of a way to have an Outlook
macro open Word and run a Word macro, then close Word and insert a Word
document in the body of a new message? The Word document has form wording at
the top, then clipboard contents are pasted and formatted in a specific font,
then there is form wording at the bottom along with some links to web sites.
The Word macro that creates this document works great, but our network users
don't use Word and want to click on a button in Outlook that starts a new
message and inserts the result of a Word macro in that message.

Maureen, the Word.Application object has a Run function.

You´d need to save the Word Document then as a RTF or HTML file.

If you need it as HTML then simply open the file (e.g. with the
FileSystemObject from the Scripting Runtime Library) read it and insert the
string into the e-mail´s HTMLBody property.

For RTF it´s more work. For inserting that into the e-mail I´d recommend you
