Show text as selected when found in mailitem

[Dave Secor]

I've written a routine to find project numbers (1-13
character string) in a mail document. When found, code
displays a message with the project number plus a message
associated with the project. I would like to show project
number in the message body by selecting it. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can do that using Inspector.WordEditor and Inspector.HTMLEditor objects
(in caseof Word or HTML editors). In case of RTF or Plain Text editor, you
might want to use the SafeInspector object in Redemption (see

Note that both WordEditor and HTMLEditor are properties subject to Outlook
security prompts in recent versions. Redemption can also work around that.
