[Kan09]

Dear all,

I have the following problem. We have a vba prcocedure that automatically send an e-mail.
I need to insert into the body of this e-mail a text that that has a red font.

Please assist me in how to insert this.
I belive i shoul use the font.color = vbRed property, but i don't know how to insert it into the procedure.

the text is something like this:

"hellor ppl" & _

"please to the following" & _

font.color = vbRed "bla bla"


how do i color that text?
Thank's for the help.

You'll have to send the text in html, using html tags for the formatting using something this

<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">sample text</FONT>

but I believe you could also specify 'red' instead of 'FF0000'

You will also need to make sure that your intended receipents will receive HTML formatted email. I have several dozens of people that do not accept HTML formatted emails...

Make sure that your procedure is also set up to handle HTML. At least in the past, with Outlook automation, you could specify a body string as either

olMailItem.Body

or as

olMailItem.HTMLbody

.Body would always go as straight text, while .HTMLbody would parse the actual HTML.
