Question Outlook macro for automatically converting plain text to link?

I'm a computer technician and often e-mail my coworkers about work orders I'm working on. I refer to the work orders using their number. So, for example, an e-mail to a coworker might say:

"The problem I'm working on now reminds me of work order 12345."

To make things easier for my coworkers, I highlight the "work order 12345" part, right-click it, choose "Hyperlink...", paste the address to the work order into the "Address" text field, and push enter. I'm wondering if there's a way to automate this process. Can anybody help?



Thanks!

I think it needs a really complicated makro, that also refers to outside programs.. This CAN be accomplished using VBA in the Visual Basic Editor... But it's pretty hard.. Myself I am not so good with scripting.. so I don't think i can help you..

All I can say, is that it's possible. And I hope it helps you knowing that it's possible.
If you have the time, you can ofcourse expand your knowenge, and study VBA scripting.
Might be handy in other applications ass well

Here is a link to get started!
