Inserting a buildingblock item into an email programatically

[Mikael]

Hello,

in Outlook 2007 email editor, I want to insert a building block item using a
macro. I fail to find the way to do this. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Regards, Mikael

You need to return a Word.Document object from the message and then use Word methods. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1571 for a code sample.

Note that the Word macro recorder is still your friend. The sample I suggested includes the basic syntax for returning a Word.Selection object from an email message. With that plus the macros that you record in Word, you can figure out the Outlook VBA code for just about anything you'd want to do in the editor.
