VBA to edit and send email via Outlook template (as an Object), not as a local .OFT file. Is this possible?

Hello everyone,

Hoping that someone can help me...

Currently have this VBA and it has been stripped to make it web friendly.
I want to know, is there a way to use this same functionality but instead of using it on a local desktop version of the .oft file, can it be used on an embedded file instead.
So, if I were to go to Insert > Object > Browse > Select the .oft file, it would embed the file as on object, so I want to know how I can perform the function below of replacing something within the embedded template instead of the local file.

Excel Formula:
Sub SendEmail()



  Dim nEmail As MailItem

  Dim PathFileName As String

  PathFileName = "C:\PATH_TO_OFT_FILE\TEMPLATE.oft"

  Set nEmail = CreateItemFromTemplate(PathFileName)

  

  With nEmail



    .Subject = Worksheets("Email").Range("A1").Value

    

    .HTMLBody = Replace(.HTMLBody, "#Name", Worksheets("Email").Range("A2").Value)

        

    .SentOnBehalfOfName = "TEST@EMAIL.COM"

    BodyWithoutSignature = .HTMLBody

    .Display

    .HTMLBody = BodyWithoutSignature

    

  End With



End Sub

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
