Create a routine to send an Outlook message. The argument list should vary according to whether you are copying the message to anyone.

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

In Word, create a document and type in some text (your name would do fine).

Write a macro which will create a message in Outlook composed of the text in your document and send it to:

The person whose email address you pass in as an argument (the TO address); and

Optionally, the person whose email address you pass in as an optional argument (the CC address).

You may find the following excerpt of code helpful:

Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application

Dim OutlookMessage As Outlook.MailItem

'open Outlook in memory

Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application

'Create a new email message and show it

Set OutlookMessage = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

OutlookMessage.Display

'set subject, and set body of message to be content of document

With OutlookMessage

.Subject = "Question"

.Body = ActiveDocument.Content

End With

Note that you will need to reference the Microsoft Outlook application first.

Now write another macro which works in exactly the same way, but to which you can pass as many CC addresses as you want (including none at all) using ParamArray.

Save this document as Document which emails itself.doc, then close it down.
