Question : Print pdf, word, and excel email attachments from inbox folder

Hi,

I would like to print multiple email attachments automatically. The attached files is excel files, pdf, and/or word documents. I only want to print the attachments without the email message. The email messages are already located in my inbox folder. Is there a macro to do this?.

My version of outlook is outlook 2007, excel 2003, and word 2003
The macro below below works for printing excel attachments and I want to add to it pdf and word.

Thank You,
Amreska
