You might want to post this to an Outlook programming group as it will
require some code to extract the information you wish.

Regular Expressions does a very good job of this.

Although I'm so-so at Regular Expressions, I'm not familiar with the
VBScript Regular Expressions library, so I couldn't give you examples.


Here's an approach using Instr matching - it's pretty rough but should do
the job.

Assumes your billing and shipping address lines are separated by at least 3
spaces.
Also assumes that there are no further sections after address that are
separated by two columns using 3 spaces.

Sub test()
Dim str As String, i As Long
Dim strOrderNumber As String, strOrderDate As String
Dim strShipToName As String, strShipToAddress As String

str = _
" C U S T O M E R R E C E I P T" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
"Supplier Order Number: 175382" &
vbNewLine & _
"America's Premier Value Merchant Order Date:
4/4/2004" & vbNewLine & _
"1384 Commercial Ship Via:
FedEx" & vbNewLine & _
"Huntington, IN 46759 Payment: MC" &
vbNewLine & _
"800-348-1239" & vbNewLine & _
"Fax: 418-326-1806" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" Bill To: Ship To:" &
vbNewLine & _
"Steve Jones Dusty Riley" &

"5008 South Powell Ave 5421 NE 50th Street" &
vbNewLine & _

"Blue Springs, MO 64015 Kansas City, MO 64119" &
vbNewLine & _
"Telephone: (816)229-7386" & vbNewLine & _
"E-Mail: dafella<atswbell.net" & vbNewLine

On Error Resume Next
i = InStr(1, str, "Order Number: ") + Len("Order Number: ")
strOrderNumber = Mid(str, i, InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i)

i = InStr(1, str, "Order Date: ") + Len("Order Date: ")
strOrderDate = Mid(str, i, InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i)

i = InStr(1, str, "Ship To:")
i = InStr(i, str, " ")
strShipToName = Trim(Mid(str, i, InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i))
i = InStr(i, str, vbCr)
i = InStr(i, str, " ")
strShipToAddress = Trim(Mid(str, i, InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i))
i = InStr(i, str, vbCr)
i = InStr(i, str, " ")
strShipToAddress = strShipToAddress & vbNewLine & Trim(Mid(str, i,
InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i))
i = InStr(i, str, vbCr)
i = InStr(i, str, " ")
strShipToAddress = strShipToAddress & vbNewLine & Trim(Mid(str, i,
InStr(i, str, vbCr) - i))
