I have written the below vb macro (modified here for privacy and it works in

Word) and would like to use it to insert a signature within the Outlook New

Appointment area. It have added the developer stuff and macro button to the

New Appt Toolbar but I get an error every time (runtime error 424). Can you

help?

Sub CalendarSignature()

'

' CalendarSignature Macro

' Inserts signature, title and phone number.

'

Application.ActiveExplorer.Activate

Selection.TypeText Text:="Ms. Name"

Selection.TypeParagraph

Selection.TypeText Text:="title"

Selection.TypeParagraph

Selection.TypeText Text:="phone number"

End Sub
 
Outlook has no idea what Selection refers to. Follow the instructions in the

article at

http://turtleflock-ol2007.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!C1013F1F9A99E3D8!579.entry

on getting a Word.Selection object from the body of an Outlook item.
