I would like to have several macros to place boilerplate text in messages I
write. Not that familiar with Outlook programming, although I am versed in
VB. Can you help me with sample macro? I can rename and replicate them and
provide toolbar icons once I have a template to go by.

Thanks for your help.

One example of a way to add boilerplate or other text to an email is at

Adding text when using the Outlook editor can only be done at the beginning
or end of the message text. It cannot insert text into a specific place in a
message. You have to be using Word as the email editor for that and you'd
have to use Word macro code in that case.

Also, in Outlook 2000 writing to Item.Body will cause the message to be in
RTF format. In Outlook 2002 SP3 and Outlook 2003 code like that will fire
the security prompts because reading .Body is restricted. An Outlook 2003
macro running within the Outlook VBA project is OK, but not in Outlook 2002
SP3. For that you'd have to use other methods to avoid the security prompts.
