I have a function that copies a dynamic range to my clipboard, is it possible to set .body equal to my clipboard? I'm currently manually pasting it into the body of the outlook event

VBA Code:
Sub new_event()
    Set olOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set Namespace = olOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
    Set oloFolder = Namespace.GetDefaultFolder(9)
    
    
    Set Appointment = oloFolder.items.Add
    
    With Appointment
        .AllDayEvent = True
        .Start = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "T").Value
        .End = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "U").Value
        .Categories = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "V").Value
        .Subject = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "W").Value
        '.Body = selectandcopy 'selectandcopy is a function that copies a dynamic range my clipboard, im currently manualy pasting the clipboard, is it possible to automate this task?
        .Display
    End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
I think it might be better to set .body equal to the range in selectandcopy rather than to try copy and pasting. I'll post the vba once I get it roughly in shape

Here's what I've done so far, I commented where I get an error, if I comment it out, everything else works fine except I'm still manually copy and pasting the range (myrange)

VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim ws As Worksheet, LastRow As Long, myrange As Range

    Set ws = ActiveSheet
    LastRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Set myrange = ws.Range("A2:H" & LastRow)
    
    Set olOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set Namespace = olOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set myRecipient = Namespace.CreateRecipient("recipient@outlook.com")
    Set oloFolder = Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(myRecipient, 9)
    Set Appointment = oloFolder.items.Add
    
    With Appointment
        .AllDayEvent = True
        .Start = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "T").Value
        .End = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "U").Value
        .Categories = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "V").Value
        .Subject = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "W").Value
        .Body = myrange 'this gives me an error "the object does not support this method"
        .Display
        
    End With
End Sub
