What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I forgot to add that I need an indented bullet point at the beginning of each line after the first line and before the the "Thank you!" at the end. I can probably get the bullet points in but can't indent for some reason. Thanks, Steve

No worries, I managed to figure it out on my own. Thanks, SS

VBA Code:
    'Display email and specify To, Subject, etc
    With OutlookMail
        
        .display
        .To = Email_To
        .CC = Email_CC
        .BCC = Email_BCC
        .Subject = EmailSubject '& CurrentMonth
        .Body = Email_Body
        .HTMLBody = "<BODY style='font-family:Calibri;font-size:15'>" & "Please process the attached order and send the following to my attention:" & _
                    "<ul TYPE=square>" & _
                     "<BR/><BR/><li style=""Margin: 0;"">" & "Order acknowledgement</li>" & _
                     "<BR/><li style=""Margin: 0;"">Any approval drawings</li>" & _
                     "<BR/><li style=""Margin: 0;"">Estimated completion date and/or lead time after receipt of all approval data</li>" & _
