Boiler Plate text replies

dev

Hi
I am just having started using outlook 2003, I frequently use boiler plate
text and set email replies especially when dealing with many people who
enquire about the same issue.

Is their one overall best system that allows you to just right click and
choose a boiler plate reply......

That is the one simple feature that I am not seeing readingly available?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try giving http://www.emailtemplates.com/et/default.aspx a try. I haven't
tried version 5 with Outlook 2003, but there previous versions have always
done an outstanding job with previous versions of Outlook that need to
with boiler plates.

Hi Neo

Many thanks!! I'll check them out. I'm also looking for any little
programs/applications that can enhance the right click clipboard feature,
this I think is an area that productivity can be increased especially if you
do a lot of business emailing.

Thanks

unfortunately MS doesn't expose the context menus to developers.

if you can think of what features/options that right click is missing, come
up with an example of when it would be useful, I'm sure that MS would like
to hear it. Just send your idea to (e-mail address removed)?subject=Outlook

I use signatures to set up form letters. Then I set the default to NONE (in
signatures) and use the Insert>signature to select the forms. Really easy and
fast. You can write a whole email as a signature.

Hi Mary,
That sounds really good, how are you able to do that? Ok I think I need to
go and read the help file about signatures.
Thanks for the tip.

Hi Neo
I had a look at the template site but I saw they are a commercial site and
the services/templates you can use are limited unless you pay and generally
I tend to see what is available without cost first before delving into paid
services. But thanks for the thought anyway.

There's a free Lite version.

Looks interesting - I do a lot of the same replies all the time for
customer service. Thinking of giving it a try.

Hi Sherry,

Thats the same one that Neo pointed out to me, I saw the lite but I dont
like systems that have facilities or features you can only use part of,
becuase once you invest the time and energy into knowing how to use them
then you have to pay for the services. Not that I am a skin flint, but I
just dont want to pay for this service.
