I had a macro in Outlook XP that entered a certain amount of text and
formatted it. We use it in most of our emails and immediately run it when
creating a new email. It worked fine. (For what it is worth, I copied it
into a Word 2007 macro and it worked fine there also).
I cannot figure out to create this macro in Outlook 2007. I went to trust
center and enabled all macros with no security at all.
I went to Tools, Macros, Visual Basic Editor. In the top left box I created
a new module and pasted in the text of the macro. But now I cannot figure
out how to run it in a new email. In a newly created macro there is no tool
option to call up a macro.
I try to run it within the visual basic editor, but I get an error message
that says macros in this project are disabled and refers me to online help
for how to enable macros.
How do I create a macro that I can run upon opening a new email that is to
be sent?
If it matters at all, the text in the macro is:
Sub EmailProtocol()
