Insert text file into BODY of email not as attachment

[rdjmorgan]

Previously in Outlook 2003 we were able to use Word VBA to insertfiles into the body of an email. But this was because Outlook used Word as it's editor.

Now 2010 doesn't allow this yet I would still like to be able to do this.

The VBA i used previously was as follows:

It is run from a form (this was controlled by a keyboard shortcut)

Global Const varUSERTEXT As String = "w:\zzword97\usertext\"

Sub UserText()
frmUserText.Show
End Sub

Sub GeneralUsertextClauses()
Dim strfilename As String
'Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim wd As Word.Application
Dim Doc As Word.Document
Dim fDialog As FileDialog
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fDialog
    .Title = "Select Text Segment File"
    .InitialFileName = varUSERTEXT
    .Filters.Add "Word Documents", "*.doc", 1
    .AllowMultiSelect = False
    If .Show <> -1 Then
        MsgBox "cancelled by User", , "List Folder Contents"
        Exit Sub
    End If
    strfilename = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
Selection.InsertFile strfilename, Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, link:=False, attachment:=False
End Sub

Is there anyway to do this in Outlook 2010 it is so useful to us

Many thanks for your help

Something you might try, save the Word document as HTML and change *.doc to *.html, that might work.
