simple command

[clate]

Let me first come out and say...I am not a coder and probably should be in a mjtnet special ed class if they had one.

I have a simple command need.
With a shortcut command...
I want to pull the content from a particular word document in a specific folder and paste it into the text field of a new email.


The word document would have text and hyperlinks mostly. I might have a word doc with an image occasionally.


Thanks so much for your assistance.

Just curious, as an alternative, could you send the Word document as an attachment to an email instead?

[clate]

Probably not. attachments are not going to cut it for this.

However...
What about the ability to just insert text and a hyperlink in an email field
that leads to the certain message?

This is not necessarily as simple as you think. Especially since Email does not natively support rich text and images. So it will depend a lot on which email client you are using. As Bob suggests, sending as an attachment is safer and then you can do it all in one line with SMTPSendMail.

However, if you have Outllook or Outlook Express installed you can send directly from within Word:

It would be quite simple to have a macro open the document and click that Send/Send To button. Better would be to record that in VBA inside Word and then convert that VBA to VBScript in Macro Scheduler.

Let us know which way you want to go and we can then help further. But before we get stuck into writing code for you we should understand more about what you really want to achieve.
