I have a macro in Word 97 that saves a doc to Outlook Express email.

Is there a way to add the same five attachments to an email by setting that
text in the document?

TIA for any guidance.

PS: While I'm here, I have to manually change the email format from 'Plain
Text' to 'Rich Text'. Wondering if there's something I can add to the doc to
do this for me.

Thank you, Doug. I'm probably in over my head, but I don't see it in the
recommended articles. I was hoping there'd be an equivalent to the way I set
other aspects of the email. For example, having:

X-MSMail-Priority: Normal

at the top of the doc, sets the email 'priority'. I wonder if there's a
similar line to add like:

X-attachments: 123.PDF; 456.PDF; 789.PDF

Best regards,
John
