OK, Got it to work.

Rule moves msg to folder and start macro.
Macro saves attachment to folder, opens doc, scans for text
if finds text then it sends me another email

Thanks,

You would need to save the attachment to the file system as a document file
and then open it and parse it using the Word object model.

When you manually open an attachment from Outlook that's exactly what
Outlook does. It saves the attachment in a temp folder and opens it based on
what program is registered in Windows to handle that file extension.

I receive email with a word attachment every day. I am only interested
when
the document contains certain words. Is there a way via VBA to
automatically
open the doc, scan for the word and notify if present.
Thanks,
