Dear all

I am succuessfully copying all contents from a word document to an outlook
message item.
I cannot work out how to retain the formatting. Any ideas? (I do not want
to use the attach document function.)

My stuff so far...
'Msg.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
Msg.To = strName
Msg.Subject = "TESTls"
Msg.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
Msg.Display

With thanks

Try

Msg.Body = ActiveDocument.Range.FormattedText

It's probably a lost cause as you have no control over how the recipient has
Outlook set to view messages.
