writing my first Macro

[bluedolphin]

Hello, I am trying to write a macro for the first time in
OUTLOOK 2000. I find this will help me cause I don't get
around very well. But am having trouble to write one in the VBA.

Can you show me how to simply write a few sentences that I can
"automatically" include in an email reply to someone. Or if you
can send me just a very simple sample or example of a macro
that has a small paragraph email. that would be great.

I have been looking on "google for hours" now, and all I could find
was this sample below, but all it does is put in the "subject line"
automtically. What I would like to do is add a few sentences automatically
in the "BODY" of the message. Can you please help. here is a small
sample I found, but I really do not understand it very much. can you
help me edit this "sample" so that it will include a small message
in the "body" of the message. Thankyou so much. Ric
If you can guide me step by step that would be great, I'm a complete
beginner when it comes to VBA and Macros, I am using Outlook 2000.

Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"
msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing

End Sub
