I've recorded several macros in Word 2003 and assigned them to buttons to
appear in both Word and Outlook. I use Word as my editor in Outlook. The
macros comprise variations of frequently added text and some horizontal lines
seperating some of the text. The macros work fantastically in Word and in
Outlook "New Messages" however if I apply any of them in Outlook "reply",
"reply all", or "forward" messages then the macro fonts change for part of
the macro (towards the end of the macro). I've tried to determine the cause
of this font change and it appears to me that the macro is somehow influenced
by the font setting that Microsoft Outllook sets for the horizontal seperator
line (just before the last message) and the first word below it i.e. "From",
that Outlook auto introduces when you "reply", "reply all", or "forward" a
messages. That is, it applies Times New Roman 12 and bold setting from the
word "From". Part of my macro fonts therefore change from Arial 8 unbold to
Times New Roman 12 bold mysteriously.
My question(s) therefore: is there a way to prevent my macro fonts changing
in these circumstances by either locking them or coding them differently when
I record my macro? If not, then is there a way for me to change the default
font for the Microsoft auto introduced horizontal line and the first word
after that (i.e. From)? I have experimented by changing the fonts of these
two items manually to Arial 8 unbolded on a "reply" just before applying my
macro and my macros then work fine.
Hope you can help.
King regards,
