Select all message body and delete

[Guest]

Hi there,

I am using outlook 2003 + Outlook Email Editor.

What I want to do is for new/reply message I am composing, I can use a VBA
code to select all the first 10 lines of text and delete them.

I know I can do this manually, but I am trying to do this using VBA so that
I can attach other features into this.

Thank you very much for the help.

Not possible in that configuration if you are using plain text or rtf. If
using HTML then your code can get HTMLEditor and its Document object and use
code on that. The code would be standard IE type HTML code available when
you reference the shdocvw.dll (Internet Controls).

Thank you for the reply.

I have some basics in VBA but I'm lost in html. The message body we use is
based on html.

Can you point me in the right direction in how to do this?

Thank you.

Take a look at the 2 macro samples that work with the HTMLDocument at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1358. More general information
is at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formatmsg.htm.

Be aware that if you ever move to Outlook 2007 that HTMLEditor is deprecated
in that version and you get everything from the WordEditor object, which
returns a Word Document object that is worked with using the Word object
model.
