MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2006How to copy RTF into another application?
Hello, I have a macro that parses a Word Document (a resume) and creates an Outlook contact out of it. I then copy and paste the entire contents of the document to the Notes field in Outlook. A manual copy/paste of a Word document's contents into the Notes field in Outlook preserves the RTF formatting. However, when I do this programmatically, it appears as plain text in the Notes field in Outlook. Here is the code that I'm using: oContact.Body = ActiveDocument.Range.Text Is there a different way to paste (in RTF format) all of the text of a Word Document into the Notes (Body) field of Outlook Contact Item? John Try oContact.Body = ActiveDocument.Range.FormattedText  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I mean the paragraphs and such are correct, but the font, bold, italics, size, etc. are all lost. Any other suggestions?

Does the notes field of Outlook allow for the insertion of a file like a Word document allows for a insertion of a file? And it looks like a AutoText entry can use the .insert method to preserve formatting. I normally use Entourage on a Mac, so I can't test Outlook at home. > See below. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>>> >>>> John SignatureRuss drsmN0SPAMikleAThotmailD0Tcom.INVALID Even more obvious, I suppose. Have you tried posting the question in an Outlook newsgroup, who should be more familiar with the limitations of Outlook Notes. > Another idea... > Does the notes field of Outlook allow for the insertion of a file like a [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >>>>> >>>>> John SignatureRuss drsmN0SPAMikleAThotmailD0Tcom.INVALID I also see that there is a .pastespecial method which can paste from the clipboard as rtf. Maybe there is a way to add a note by actually pointing to and opening up a Word document as the body of the note. > Even more obvious, I suppose.
