Public Sub CreateNewMessage()
Dim objMsg As MailItem

Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)

 With objMsg
  .To = "test@tst.com"
  .Subject = "This is the subject"
  .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
            .Attachments.Add ("C:WorkDashbaord.pdf"), olOLE  'Attach PDF File
  'Embed PDF
         Set wordapp = CreateObject("word.Application")
            wordapp.Documents.Open FileName:="C:Work" & "Dashbaord.pdf"
            wordapp.Visible = True



        'Embed PDF
        wordapp.Visible = True
        Set wordapp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
        wordapp.Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="AcroExch.Document.11", _
        FileName:="C:WorkDashbaord & ".pdf", LinkToFile:=False, _
        DisplayAsIcon:=False

Should be something like this.

Public Sub InsetObject()
    Dim Inspector As Outlook.Inspector
    Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
    Dim Selection As Word.Selection
    Dim Email As Outlook.mailitem

    Set Email = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    With Email
        .To = "0m3r@Email.com"
        .subject = "This is the subject"
        .Attachments.Add ("C:TempTempFile.pdf")
        .Display

         Set Inspector = Application.ActiveInspector()
         Set wdDoc = Inspector.WordEditor
         Set Selection = wdDoc.Application.Selection

         Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="AcroExch.Document.DC", _
                   FileName:="C:TempTempFile.pdf", _
                   LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False

    End With

    Set Inspector = Nothing
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    Set Selection = Nothing
End Sub
