Hello,
I currently have a piece of VBA code that converts an excel selection into a HTML email. In the workbook there is a number of specific conditional formatting formulas that are being used. When I run the HTML email macro it populates the selection in outlook (.display) but the conditional formatting is completely messed up... advice?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Did you set the email body to HTML format?

Code:
 .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML   

  .HTMLBody = _   

      [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]"<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>" [/FONT][/COLOR]
  
  .Display

I can get the plain text to work but you need HTML tags before and after the "Enter the message text here" line.

HTML isnt the issue. The email populates with everything I want in it, the only issue is that the conditional formatting formulas that are in the excel workbook come over to outlook and visually change the doc. I almost want to paste the selection as an image in the outlook email.

just a test thought, can you copy paste into outlook directly

I know if I want formatting to follow I have to paste into word, then copy and paste it back
