i'm looking for help writing a VBA macro to indent paragraphs in an
plain text email.

here's the deal:  my default entry format is plain text.  i often send
messages with paragraphs i would like to have indented for emphasis.
to do this, i switch the format from plain text to rich text, select
the paragraphs, click the 'increase indent' button, then switch back
to plain text.  i do this often enough that it warrants a macro. 8)

here's the problem:  i've tried different ways to get Outlook/VBA to
do what i'm asking.  none have worked.  currently, i'm trying:

Public Sub Indent()
    ActiveWindow.Selection.Paragraphs.Ident
End Sub

which returns: "Object dosen't support this property or method".

any ideas, code snippets, or virtual shoulders to cry on would be
appreciated. 8)

thanks,

MJB

Outlook version? Word or regular editor?

And your original question was? (Please take the time to quote the original message manually so that people reading your current response can understand what you're talking about. Otherwise, you may not receive the answer you're looking for.)

The regular editor doesn't problem a lot of formatting options that you can program. Probably the most flexible is to code the HTMLBody property with fully tagged HTML.
