Hi Everyone - and seasons greetings from the now tropical Southern Hemisphere (sunny and warm 23c here now for those of you up north)

Anyway - I want to try something. I want to open a word document, copy all of the contents : fonts, font sizes, spacings, the whole shebang; and then close the word document. Then I want to create a new outlook message and dump the copied stuff into it - retaining all of the Word Formatting.... without user intervention (full automation).

I am wondering what the best way to do this is? I have found heaps of threads 'nearly' matching this process, but asisde from basic office automation this is a new area for me. So here are my few questions:

In Word, how do I select the entire document and then paste to the clipboard?
Then, in my new Outlook message, how to I paste the clipboard contents into my new message?

TIA
