    Dim xAddress As String
    Dim xEmailBody As String
    Dim xMailOut As Outlook.MailItem

    On Error Resume Next
    xAddress = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select range you need to paste into email body", "KuTools For Excel", xAddress, , , , , 8)
If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set xMailOut = xOutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    For I = 1 To xRg.Rows.Count
        For J = 1 To xRg.Columns.Count

Send email with a specified range pasted into email body with an amazing tool

If you don’t use Outlook and still want to send emails directly in Excel with a specified range data pasted inside, I highly recommend the Send Emails utility of Kutools for Excel for you. With this feature, you just need to configure the outgoing server of an email address, and then send emails in Excel directly via this email address in the future.

Before applying Kutools for Excel, please download and install it firstly.

1. Firstly, you need to prepare a mailing list with needed fields.

  • Tips: The mailing list must contain at least 2 rows, and the first row must be the headers (Supposing you want to send emails to two email addresses in Excel, please type in these two email addresses with header “Email” as the below screenshot shown).
  • Alternatively, you can easily create a mailing list with the Create Mailing List feature.

2. Select the range you will add the data to the email body and press the Ctrl + C keys to copy it.

3. Select the whole mailing list (include headers), click Kutools Plus > Send Emails. See screenshot:

4. Then the Send Emails dialog box pops up.

  • 4.1) Items of selected mailing list are populated in corresponding fields (you can add more fields to the mailing list as you need);
  • 4.2) Click on the email body box, press the Ctrl + V keys to paste the selected range data into it. After that, add other content as you need;
  • 4.3 Uncheck the Send emails via Outlook box;
  • 2.4) Click the Outgoing Server Settings button. See screenshot:

5. Then the Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings – New Scheme dialog box pops up. Please fill in the email address with its server settings, specify a folder to save all sent mails after checking the Save sent emails to box, and then click the OK button to save the settings.

6. When it returns to the Send Emails dialog box, click the Send button to send the email.

From now on, you can send emails with this feature in Excel directly.

  If you want to have a free trial (30-day) of this utility, please click to download it, and then go to apply the operation according above steps.
