I am attempting to generate the body of an email in Outlook 2007 from the text of a Word 2007 document in VB. I have access to both the Word and Outlook object libraries, and I can read from the Word document to get a string and write it to Outlook, but I need to keep the formatting from the Word document intact.

The purpose will be to allow users to edit the word document and always have the emails my program generates be in sync with the document.

Does anyone know how to do this?
