How to Paste into Outlook 2011 using keystorkes/System Events

Hi All,

I while back I came across a Script that did a Select All and a Paste as below in Outlook but I can’t for the life of me find it!

If someone could tell me the magic formula I’d really appreciate as I can’t seem to get it right. At the time when this snippet runs, the Correct Field in Outlook has been selected:

tell application id "com.microsoft.Outlook"
	activate
	set myClipboard to the clipboard

	set the clipboard to “HELLO WORLD"

	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke "a" using command down
		keystroke "v" using command down
	end tell

	set the clipboard to myClipboard
end tell
