I have created an Outlook template with checkboxes included. I want to display a message when a checkbox has been ticked. I have written some basic codes (msgbox etc.) related to each checkbox.
Issue:
How can I include/integrate my codes in the Outlook template?
Looks like you need to create a new custom Outlook form with a code behind. You can read more about that in the Create an Outlook Form article.
You will not be able to achieve the required functionality with a message body. Any scripts from message bodies can't be run for security matters.

I am currently trying to create a form in Outlook. I want to be able to send this form to different people so that they can make changes to the form and send those changes back to me as a response.
I have a published form in the meantime. My current problem: The recipient does not see the form until he "undocks" the email from the Outlook app and the changes made there are not transmitted to me; I just get an empty form. How or where can I save this data that the recipients enter? I am grateful for any help!
The form definition includes all the fields and the code that you add to the form. As a general rule, publish the form definition to a forms library instead of sending the form definition with the item. If you cannot publish your form to a forms library, you can select the Send form definition with item check box on the Properties page so that other users can see the form pages when they receive items that are composed by using the form.
Forms that you only intend to use once and not publish are referred to as one-off forms. Because of security concerns with one-off forms, users might not see the form correctly when they open items sent to them with a one-off form. In this case, sending the form definition with the one-off form provides the necessary information required to display the form correctly for the users.
To change how users reply to your form, click the Actions page. The Actions page lists the default Reply forms that are available. You can also add your own custom Reply forms. For example, forms based on a new email message have built-in Reply, Reply to All, Forward, and Reply to Folder forms. When users receive your form, the form contains buttons and menu commands so that users can respond to the form. You can disable some or all of these default forms and set attributes that define how these Reply forms appear.

I would like to know if with Office JS Outlook addin, is it possible to set email body automatically when opening and composing an email.
I have already succeed to do it using addin commands and MessageComposeCommandSurface extension point element in the manifest.
However, my code is execution only after a click on a button in the ribbon.
Is it possible to execute my code automatically when the compose form is loading instead of having to click in a button to execute it?
Thanks a lot
This isn't a supported scenario.
I am trying to get started with VBA in outlook and I was wondering if anyone had code that copied and pasted the content of one cell from a table in an outlook mail to another mail (only the content - not the cell or table)?
A small piece of example code would be great.
Best regards
It looks like you need to parse the message body and find the required value. Then paste it to another message body.
The Outlook object model provides three main ways for working with item bodies:
Body.
HTMLBody.
The Word editor. The WordEditor property of the Inspector class returns an instance of the Word Document which represents the message body. So, you can use the Word object model do whatever you need with the message body.
See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.

I have been searching the web for a way to do this but no such luck. My goal is to save a meeting agenda template into an email signature which would be inserted into every meeting invite created by me.
Looking for some clues on how to do this?
Outlook 2010 and newer include the form designer.
File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon, then, in the Right Side pane, click to turn on the Developer Tab.
From there you can design Meeting Request template to your specification.
Then, to use it, you will select:
New -> Meeting Request Using -> (Your Custom Template) from the Outlook Home tab.
You can handle the ItemSend event of the Application class where you can check out the message class of the outcoming Outlook item and change the message body if required.
