Sending document as email or copy to outlook in html format

[Jonathan Parminter]

Hi, this is what I want to do...
Programmatically create a document in word using a
template that has some boilerplate text and a table. After
populating the table I now want to email this document to
a mail recipient with another document as an attachment.

Using code, I cannot find a programmable equivalent torouting method (that is, to send the active document as an
attachment rather than as the body of an email). If you
can help me to insert a To address, subject and an
attachment then the follow-on problem is redundant.

As a work around, I am creating a outlook email with the
document contents as the email body. The problem with this
is that all the formatting in Word is lost! Do you know
how I can reference the hmtl version of the active
document?

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated

Cheers
Jonathan

Thanks Doug for your reply especially as it was so prompt.

The article you recommend is good. The problem is that
part 2. Automating Outlook does not preserve the
formatting in word when the document contents are placed
into the body of the email.

How do I preserve the format when assigning to the body of
an email the contents of a word document? I can't find how
to emmulate a manual copy/paste into the email body as
this does work.... I hope this doesn't sound like a whine
