It just crashes without any vba error message - just the Word has
encountered an error and needs to close message, followed by the fault
reporting screen. Word then restarts.
The error occurs after the prompt for the Subject so presumably the fault
lies at
Selection.Copy
objDoc.Range.Paste
.Display
On the few occasions when it doesn't crash, the selected formatted text is
not pasted into the message window.
When Outlook is already running in the background, the macro works as
intended in both Word 2003 and 2007 (both with Outlook 2007).
