I had been using a macro from Ron Debruin to do this but lately it ran real slow. So I found online another macro, trimmed it and added some of Ron's to it. It runs very fast. But the issue is the data it sends to outlook seems to start mid page and goes right. I can not seem to get it to line up at the left of the page. Any one got any ide why?

Sub EmailSendSelectedCells_inOutlookEmail()
'Copy the selection
Set objSelection = Range("A1:Z" & Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
objSelection.Copy
'Paste the copied selected ranges into a temp worksheet
Set objTempWorkbook = Excel.Application.Workbooks.Add(1)
Set objTempWorksheet = objTempWorkbook.Sheets(1)
'Keep the values, column widths and formats in pasting
With objTempWorksheet.Cells(1)
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.PasteSpecial xlPasteColumnWidths
.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
End With
'Save the temp worksheet as a HTML file
Set objFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strTempHTMLFile = objFileSystem.GetSpecialFolder(2).Path & "\Temp for Excel" & Format(Now, "YYYY-MM-DD hh-mm-ss") & ".htm"
Set objTempHTMLFile = objTempWorkbook.PublishObjects.Add(xlSourceRange, strTempHTMLFile, objTempWorksheet.Name, objTempWorksheet.UsedRange.Address)
objTempHTMLFile.Publish (True)
'Create a new email
Set objOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNewEmail = objOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'Read the HTML file data and insert into the email body
Set objTextStream = objFileSystem.OpenTextFile(strTempHTMLFile)
objNewEmail.HTMLBody = objTextStream.readall
objNewEmail.Display
'****************************************************************************************
'Specify email recipients, subjects ; etc, Here
'objNewEmail.To = "johnsmith@"
'objNewEmail.Cc = "carboncopy"
'objNewEmail.Subject = "DataNumen Products"
'objNewEmail.Send '--> directly send out this email
'****************************************************************************************
objTextStream.Close
objTempWorkbook.Close (False)
objFileSystem.DeleteFile (strTempHTMLFile)
End Sub
 
That is just awesome.

One last tweak please. My macro sets the font to arial [10] in excel and fits the colums. But the verssion [html ?] pasted to outlook is changing in to segoe [11] and it is messign my formatting. I do not mind the larger print but I would need to auto fit the column's and of course the original font / size is ok to.
How should I overcome this? What path is easier?

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
My macro sets the font to arial [10] in excel and fits the colums. But the verssion [html ?] pasted to outlook is changing in to segoe [11] and it is messign my formatting.
Can't reproduse that behavior. I've formated (font & size) cells individually and their formats are the same as in the Excel sheet.
Apply .Display instead of .Send and check font(s) in Outlook email.

I did as requested, results the same. Excel is formated at Arial 10, outlook is formated as Arial 10 and the pasted date is segoe 12. Cant figure why.
Got a work around, I am reformatting excel to segoe 12.

Any chance you can tell me how I would specify to email thru a differnet account other than the default email address?

I seem to be having an issue with this addition. I think it may be because the email account is not actually n account but rather an alias created by my IT dept.
IS we revert back to the thast rendition of this script can I we force somehing like
SendithAccount = "Account.com"?

Well, then
1. Do you able to logon manually to that different account and send email from it to yourself?
2. If so, then just do right click on address of the received email to see smtp address of that account and use it in the previous code.
Actually you may send email from the default account on behalf of smtp address of your another installed account by inserting .SentOnBehalfOfName = MySmtpAddress before the line with .Send - find it commented in the below code.

And yes it is possible to use name of the account in the code instead of the smtp address, like this:

The email account is not set up in my outlook installation as an account. however when I send an email I can pull the that down on the send from email addresses and have access to it there. Also when retrieving emails it does so under the account. Also I would like to integrate the signature into another macro. Can you supply just the specific code for taht for me to play with please?

PS. Also for some reason I have not been able to figure out why the format and fonts are being changed. the version just before did work fine but this one does not.

ZVI, I am fustrated. I love your code but can't get it right. I still can not get the format to stop changing on the second version. And I have not yet goten the email accoutn to change. I trimmed the code down to bare essentials to test the email account change [below]. the message box IS displaying the correct account info but it will not pull up / populate the from email field at all. It always reverts back to the default. I guess I can live with the formatting not exactly as I would like it but this is critical. Can you please help?




' User setting, change to suit
objAccount = "test email @ ccc.com" ' <-- The smtp address to send from
' Create a new email, fill it and send
With objOutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
' Use the defined mailbox if found
MsgBox objAccount
.SendUsingAccount = objAccount
' Get default email signature without blinking (instead of .Display method)
With .GetInspector: End With
sSignature = .HtmlBody
.display
End With

Never faced with a such configuration. Have you tried .SentOnBehalfOfName = "your another address"?
