Open the Visual Basic Editor by pressing Alt+F11 or by navigating to Developer > Visual Basic in the Outlook ribbon.
-
Create a new module by clicking "Insert" > "Module" in the Visual Basic Editor.
-
Paste the following code into the module:
Sub ForwardMultipleEmails() Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application Dim olSel As Selection Dim olItem As Object Set olSel = olApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection For Each olItem In olSel olItem.Forward Next olItem End Sub
-
Save the module by clicking "File" > "Save" (or press Ctrl+S).
