I currently have a macro which inserts a selected file from a directory.

Sub GeneralUsertextClauses()
With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertFile)
.name = varUSERTEXT
.Show
End With
End Sub

How can I ensure that the selected file isn't an attachment when used with
Outlook?

Just needed to add this is a macro that I use in Word as well. So needs to
work as well in both.

Thanks

Aside from the fact that varUSERTEXT is an undefined variable, what is the
relevance of Outlook here? The macro simply displays the InsertFile dialog
(or rather it would if varUSERTEXT actually referred to something).

Sorry for not providing the full information

varusertext is referenced as follows:
Global Const varUSERTEXT As String = "w:\zzword97\usertext\"

The relevance of Outlook is that these files could be inserted into word
documents (for letters) or into emails if you are sending a email to a Client.

The files could be standard paragraphs or addresses etc

You are missing the point. If you are programming Outlook, then you should
be asking your questions in an Outlook forum. They will want to know what
version of Outlook and if prior to version 2007 whether you are using Word
as e-mail editor or Outlook's own editor.

With Word you might find Autotext or Autocorrect more convenient tools for
inserting standard paragraphs - and surely your addresses would be inserted
from Outlook Contacts?
