Translating Word VBA into Outlook VBA

[alanc]

Hi Graham,

I have been experimenting with your code, and am getting close to achieving what I am trying to achieve. Thank you for your encouragement. The one aspect I have been unable to figure out is how to select the word that contains the found string within the message body, rather than displaying the word in a message box.

Acting on the message in variable-space is elegant. I would like to get better at doing this. On the other hand, in this situation, I want to show the user the found word in context, and the most familiar way to do this is to select the word. Thus in my code, I am trying to do equivalent of pressing F8 twice to select the focused word, beginning with (VBA Word) ExtendMode toggled off:

In Word VBA:

Selection.Extend
Selection.Extend
