Our company wants to begin using a new uniform stationary in Outlook, so
that we can present a consistent, branded image to the world. We want to be
able to use a simple VBA program in Outlook to position the cursor after the
HTML header in the message whenever the user creates a new e-mail message.

Is this possible? If so, how do we position the cursor within a new mail
message? (Word, for example, has bookmarks. We have a good deal of
experience programming in Word but not Outlook. Does Outlook have something
similar?)

Where should we put the code to position the cursor?

Thanks.

If you use Word as your email editor, all the Word objects and methods,
including bookmarks, should be available to you.

Thanks for your reply, Sue. Unfortunately, that's not an option. Is there
any other way to position the cursor below the header?

The only option you have with the Outlook editor is to use SendKeys.
