In Outlook, go to Tools, Options, select the Mail Format tab and then click
on Editor Options at the bottom.

Select the Advanced tab and then under Cut, Copy Paste section, make sure
that the Keep Source formatting option is selected. that should then paste
and keep your formatting without need to modify the macro.

Terry -- thanks, I found it.

Graham: Can your macro be modifed so that the text that is pasted into the
email body preserves the formatting it had in Word? When I run your
macro,
bolded text becomes unbolded and tabs disappear.

Thanks.

Right-click anywhere on the QAT and select Customize. In the customize
dialog, select All Commands and scroll down to Microsoft Outlook.

But I am assuming that you have the whole Office 2007 suit and not just
Word
2007 mixed with Outlook 2003. That combination won't work as Word 2007
needs
Outlook 2007 for compatibility.

Hope this sorts it for you.

Graham's macro works very nicely -- thank you, Graham.

Terry: I would like to try your suggestion, but Outlook does not seem
to
be
a Command available to me in Word Options | Customize | All Commands.
Where
can I find the Command to which you are referring?

Thanks.

You can add the Outlook command button to the QAT, just like you can
add
the
Send to Mail Recipient tool to the QAT.

But I don't want to send the entire Word document -- just the
portion
of
it
that is my email. I take notes as I go through the day, and
occasionally
compose an email that I then want to send. The email is just a
small
portion
of the day's notes. So, I compose the email, then cut and paste its
text
into Outlook. The button I used in Word 2003 called up Outlook,
opened
a
blank email, and allowed me to paste in the text I had prepared in
Word.
I
also had a button that called up Outlook with an email already
addressed
to
my assistant, who is the recipient of about half of the 20 or so
emails
I
send each day -- very convenient. Amazing that such a useful
feature
would
be eliminated in an "updated" version of Word!

I appreciate your replies. however.

It was never necessary to copy and paste into a blank email in
Outlook.
All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send to Mail
Recipient
tool (in either Word 2002, Word 2003 or Word 2007).

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email address bar
to
the
top of the windows which looks and feels identical to the blank
email
in
Outlook.

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send Mail to
Recipient
to
the QAT because Microsoft inexplicably left it off the Send Menu.

I just chagned from Word 2003 to Word 2007. In Word 2003, I had
an
icon
in
the toolbar that allowed me to call upOutlook. I.e., I wouudl
compose
and
email in word, then select and copy it, then click on this icno,
and
an
email
opened up ready for me to paste in the text. I am pretty sure I
used
the
Customixe feature in 2002 to do this.

How can I get such an icon in 2007 to land in my Quick Access
Toolbar?

Thanks.
