MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / October 2006Recording macros
Q 1: I have been able to load my macros with keyboard assignments from Office XP into NormalEmail.dotm, but, they do not execute when writing email in Outlook. The identical transfer to Normal.dotm was successfull in activating them in Word. Anything I have to change? Q 2: Not successfulll above, I tried to write macros directly in Outlook. I could not find a way to r4cord macros in Outlook, nor any assignment to kystrokes. Are either of these 'known issues' or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Peter K Are ther Known issue because no version of Outlook supports the "recording of macros" like other office apps. >Q 1: > I have been able to load my macros with keyboard assignments from Office [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Are ther Q1: No. Word macros recorded in NormalEmail.dotm are not available to Outlook.

What is the purpose of Normalemail.dotm, if not to serve as a template for email? How can one then build such macros and assign them to keystrokes in Outlook? With MSO 07 B2 we were told that macros would become available with RC1. Now we are told that MSO 07 B2TR is RC1. Currently I write my email in Word & then copy it into Outlook, but, that is certainly not a permenent solution. Any help is appreciated. > Q1: No. Word macros recorded in NormalEmail.dotm are not available to Outlook. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > > Are ther > In writing email in foreign languages I have used for ten years or so a set > of macros, assigned to keystrokes, written in Word & therefore available in > Outllook. too. You didn't say what these macros do. Maybe it's something a QuickPart can handle. > What is the purpose of Normalemail.dotm, if not to serve as a template for > email? A template is a lot more than macros. My hunch is that there would be security issues involved in allowing macros from NormalEmail.dotm to run against an Outlook message. > How can one then build such macros and assign them to keystrokes in Outlook? You can write them in Outlook VBA, but Outlook has no keystroke assignment capability. > Currently I write my email in Word & then copy it into Outlook, but, that is > certainly not a permenent solution. Why copy? Modify the Quick Access Toolbar to add the Send to Mail Recipient command, found under All Commands. That makes it very easy to write the content in Word, then add the mail details.

The macros are for specific foreign language characters, like alt & e produces the Euro symbol €, alt & a the German Umlaut ä, etc. Am not familiar with QuickPart & will look into it.
