OL2000: Word Document to Change Message Class of Outlook Items

ID: q201089

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

Omsgclas.doc is a Word document that uses Office automation to change the message class for all items in an Outlook MAPI folder. With Outlook, you can create a new form for items such as Contacts and set a Contacts folder property so that all new Contacts use the new form. However, old Contacts will still use the old form. The Omsgclas.doc document allows you to change the message class held for each item in the folder so that all existing items will use a specific custom form. This document works with all types of Outlook items.

NOTE: This is the same Word 97 document that was available for Outlook 97 and Outlook 98.

To permit this macro to run, you may have to adjust the security level setting in Outlook. Follow these steps to verify or change your setting:

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro and click Security.


  2. On the Security Level tab, click either Medium, to allow you to choose whether to run macros or not, or Low, to allow all macros to run without a warning.


  3. Click OK.


Important: Outlook must be running when you open the Word document.
