Re: Searching for Outlook 2007 VBA Consulting

Since Outlook 2007 always uses Word as the email editor, it should actually be easier. If you shared where you're stuck, I bet someone could help get you unstuck.

If not, you can send a message to outlook-dev-hire at yahoogroups.com with details of your requirements, including the Outlook version(s) to be supported. Once the moderator approves your message, Outlook developers on the outlook-dev-hire list can respond directly to you if they're interested in your project.

Hi Everyone:

I'm looking for someone who can develop a quoting macro that already works
for Outlook 2003. I consider myself a poweruser and can do basic scripting
activities. However, with the change in scripting format in Outlook 2007, I
do not have the knowledge needed to recreate an existing macro that works in
Outlook 2003.

WHAT THE MACRO DOES
In a response email, graps a set of highlighted text buried in one of the
messages from a previous sender, copies it to memory, returns to the current
end of the response email (up top) and inserts:
1) The highlighted text into a quote box that is indented, colored, boxed,
shrinked.
2) The email address and name of the person who wrote the text

The cursor then returns to a spot immediately after the quote.

ITS PURPOSE
To quickly grab a set of text that someone else wrote, bring up to the
response email, format it for easy reading, and then prepare a space for a
prepared response. I programmed this macro to kick off on a keyboard
command, typically CTRL-M.

REQUIREMENTS
- Needed Word as the email editor.
- My email needed to have a signature that would have unique text. The
macro would insert the copied text in a quote box "right above" the signature.

THE CHALLENGE
Outlook 2007 changes the model and doesn't seem to make it easy to figure
out how to copy / paste. I'm looking for anyone who can either develop this
(will pay), or give the guidance to help develop it.

I probably developed the original macro in 2 hours the first time.
