Use the folders button to display your folder tree. Under While You Were
Out personal folder tree, click on the folder. Then go to Tools->Choose
Form and select Outlook Folders for the source. The addin should be there.

||
|| ||| Hi, Sue. I d/l the file listed above and although it says it
||| launched and loaded correctly, the .oft file is nowhere to be
||| found. Can you help me locate it or launch it properly?
|||
||| Also, it directs me to find the file with the following message:
|||
||| "Setup was completed successfully. The While You Were Out form has
||| been installed in the Microsoft Office\Office folder. To view it,
||| start Outlook,
||| point to Open Special Folder on the file menu, and then click
||| Personal Folder."
|||
||| The problem with this is, from my computer, when I click File,
||| Open, I am prompted to select one of three options:
|||
||| Selected Items...
||| Other User's Folder...
||| Outlook Data File...
|||
||| but no Personal Folder...Am I doing something wrong? Even a *.oft
||| search for files on my hard drive didn't result in any templates
||| resembling the while you were out file. Can you help me? Thanks!
