VB6 with Outlook and Word.

I am using VB6 to create a word object. In vb6 I open an existing word document that is formatted and contains a number of bookmarks. I populate the bookmarks using Vb6. After I have done this I then copy the content of this word document which is in RTF format. I then open an Outlook email and paste to the body of that email the content of the word document I copied. The problem is that after paste, the content format is lost in the e-mail body. It becomes a simple text and hence the format is lost. Is there a way of doing it without losing the format in the e-mail body?

Secondly, is there a way of populating an e-mail form like in a word document with bookmarks?
