Outlook, word and VB6

:( Is there anyone there who knows how to copy a content of a word document in RTF format and paste in to the body of an Outlook e-mail and preserve the format into the e-mail body? I have tried this using VB6 but every time I copy the contents of a word document and paste it to the body of an e-mail, the content format is lost and essentially becomes a simple text format.

Is there a way of using VB6 to populate an Outlook e-mail form? In a word document this is very using using bookmarks. Any code samples will help enormously. Thanks.
