I have created a COM add-in which is working fine when using MS Outlook.
When I use MS Word and select File -> Send To -> Mail Recipient (as
Attachment...) no events are caught by my add-in code and thus new buttons
and the command bar is not displayed.
Is there some way of catching these events so I can display my command bar /
buttons in the new inspector?
The add-in was written using VB.

Regards,

This is expected behavior. Using Send To invokes the Simple MAPI interface to create a message with the user's default mailer, effectively bypassing Outlook's own programming interface. I don't know of any workaround other than to replace the File | Send To commands in Word with others that invoke Outlook directly.
 
Sue, thank you for your answer.
