I have an email ready to be sent in Outlook 2013 I want to scan the body of the email for bold text (i.e., bold characters) and change its color to red (nice to have) Exclude from the macro the signature
I put together the code below but still not working. Any ideas?
Public Sub FormatSelectedText()
Dim objItem As Object
Dim objInsp As Outlook.Inspector
' Add reference to Word library
' in VBA Editor, Tools, References
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim objDoc As Word.Document
Dim objSel As Word.Selection
On Error Resume Next
'Reference the current Outlook item
Set objItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
If Not objItem Is Nothing Then
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
Set objInsp = objItem.GetInspector
If objInsp.EditorType = olEditorWord Then
Set objDoc = objInsp.WordEditor
Set objWord = objDoc.Application
Set objSel = objWord.Selection
Set objChar = Characters.Selection
' replace the With block with your code
With objChar
' Formatting code goes here
'.Font.Size = 18
If .Font.Bold = True Then
.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
End If
.Font.Color = wdColorRed
'.Font.Italic = True
'.Font.Name = "Arial"
End With
For Each Char In Characters.Selection
If Char.Font.Bold Then
Char.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'TextRGBTmp
End If
Next Char
For Each Char In Characters.Selection
If Not Char.Font.Bold And Char.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) Then
Char.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next Char
End If
End If
End If
Set objItem = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing
Set objSel = Nothing
Set objInsp = Nothing
End Sub
