Greetings Sue --
I'm running MS outlook 2003.
I am trying to annotate received emails and save them with my annotations. So my interest is to insert text
1) wherever I place my cursor (amidst existing text)
2) In a specified format (probably blue, arial)
I wrote a simple macro in MSWord 2003 that serves well -- it inserts a couple of blue parentheses wherever the cursor is, and I then simply click between the paren's, and type my annotations. I'd like to replicate this ability in Outlook.
Problem is (i'm learning) that MSWord is *not* consistently invoked when editing received messages (Edit >> EditMessage). So, can you help me with a similar macro for the built-in outlook-editor?.
Again, I'm running Office 2003. I'm on Windows XP Pro.
Thanks in advance.

The sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=3D615 should
work fine with the built-in editor to insert a previously stored
signature.=2
Note that using Ctrl+ key shortcuts isn't an option in Outlook. The
closest solution is putting a command on the toolbar to run a macro and
assign an Alt+ accelerator by putting a & in the command's caption.=2

Create macro to insert signature into email...
I need to create a macro that will allow a user to use CTRL + <a key> to
insert their signature into their new email. I've viewed and tried some of
the sample codes and links, but I'm not able get anything to work
Could someone provide a working solition or a link to information that might
resolve the issue
Thank you

Currently running Outlook 2003 on most workstations. This one in particular
is running version 2003 and I'm trying to use Outlook Editor. I've also
tried recording a macro with Word, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I

I must have the process wrong, because the macro does not show up after I save
I must have the process wrong, because the macro does not show up after I
save it. Here's the process...
- tools, macro, macros
- insert macro name, click create
- paste the code in and save it
- when I go to tools customize, macros there's no macro listed
- when I go to the macros window, there's no macro listed
If I try to create a new macro, it brings up the editor and the code from
the previous macro and starts a new page.

What does your macro look like?
What does your macro look like? The sample is not a macro, but a =
subroutine that can be called by a macro, which would need to pass the =
name of the signature to the InsertSig procedure.
What code module did you create it in? (HINT: Use Alt+F11 to open the =
Outlook VBA directly.)=20

i tried this tutorial <
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1660>
but unfortunately, i failed..nothing cames up and shoed up..i dont have any knowlegde with macro tough...
can someone help me doing the above tutorial step-by-step?
thanks and appreciate your inputs...
That's not a tutorial; it's a code sample.
That's not a tutorial; it's a code sample. It assumes that you know the =
basics of adding code to the Outlook VBA environment, as described at =
http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=3D49
If you didn't understand part of the code sample or if part of the code =
did not run as expected, post a comment directly on that sample with =
details of the problem(s) you've encountered. The author also posted =
his blog address as a way of inviting comments and questions.=20
Other methods you can use:=20
1) Get the last number used in a folder. Listing 15.8 in my latest book, =
Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming, demonstrates this. The code is =
usable in earlier versions and is available at =
http://outlookcode.com/member/book.aspx.=20
2) Use an Excel worksheet that contains VBA code to increment the =
number. See =

ft.public.excel.newusers&mid=3D5489e140-9794-41b7-a9ba-1324e136ff3a
You could also use a text file to hold the number or, if this is for =
your personal use, an Outlook item.=20
