Insert a ftr or macro into email saved to .doc w/o opening doc fi

[Marceepoo]

We use a macro in Outlook 2003 and 2007 to save e-mails to .htm files, and
then to rename each email file so that it has a .doc extension.

Without opening Word (each time the Outlook macro saves an email), I want to
insert a footer into each saved e-mail (i.e., the footer would have the Word
filename field at the left margin in 8pt TimesRoman font, and the pagenumber
centered in Times 13. An example of a macro we use in Word "FtrPrimitive01"
is set forth below, at the bottom of this posting.).

I am having trouble figuring out how to add code to the Outlook VBA that
would carry out any of the following alternative solutions for getting to the
same result:

1. Manually insert a footer into each saved e-mail (i.e., carry out the
actions shown in the sub "FtrPrimitive01" shown below); OR
2. Copy a footer from another document (e.g., k:\data\forms\footer.doc)
into the saved e-mail; OR
3. Attach a macro (somehow) to the saved .doc file (e.g., a macro that
would create a footer when the document is opened).

I would appreciate any possible coding solutions, and any references to URLs
where I could learn how to carry out the solutions indicated above.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for any suggestions.

Here's a footer macro we use:

By "footer" do you mean a footer for each page? The only way to do that is to use Word methods to open the document and insert a footer using the same sort of code that you already have:

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application
Set objDoc = objWord.Open("c:\your file name.htm")
' run footer code you already have against objDoc.Selection instead of Selection

You can then call objDoc.SaveAs to save the .htm file as a Word .doc file
