MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004Copy Text and Keep Formatting
Hello- I have been working on a mailmerge. I had the format working, but missed some functionality. I now have VB script that provides the functionality, but I have now lost the formatting! The content copy line (.Body = ActiveDocument.Content) looses all formatting in the email body. Not only did I have BOLD and COLORED font, but I had a Word TABLE of data. That table is lost and the data is just listed as text. Is there a way to PRESERVE formatting in the body of the message? (having the formatted text as an attachment is not an option) To create the email, the VB script uses: Source.Sections.First.Range.Cut Documents.Add Selection.Paste .Subject = mysubject .Body = ActiveDocument.Content Any suggestions! I have a document of merged emails that I want to send one, at a time, to the email recepients. Thank you, --Jason Have you tried what I suggested in response to your question about this issue in the microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields newsgroup?

I do not see a way to get rid of them other than manually deleting the section breaks? 2) I just tried both methods. '.Body = ActiveDocument.Content This is actually even worse. All text is streamed with no carriage returns. .BodyFormat = olFormatRichText .Body = ActiveDocument.Content This method produces the same results. I thought the formatting gruop would be a better bet than the outlook group? Still want me to try over there? Thank you for your continued-help. --Jason PS: Is there a way to make this multiple email address limitation an enhanement in the next patch? If it is a valid email address, this should not be blocked. > Have you tried what I suggested in response to your question about this > issue in the microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields newsgroup?
