Currently, the Outlook Add-In API does not provide any method to select part of the text in a composing mail:

- In Word, Excel, and PowerPoint this can be achieved by defining a Range and calling .select() on it

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/excel/excel.range?view=excel-js-preview
Please see similar issue posted on Stackoverflow:

Would be nice to have this feature implemented!

Hi,
This feature would be very beneficial for us to support an add-in for "New Outlook".
