Creating Templates

[Chris R]

Is there a way to create a template in Outlook? Can
someone please explain how? I want to send the same
email (body). For example, Dear ... It was nice speaking
to you today. I will call you next week ... Thanks,
Chris

Create the message as completely filled out as you want it to be, then click
File | Save As, and save it as an Outlook Template (.OFT) file. Put it in
an easily accessible place on your hard drive, and/or create an easily
accessible shortcut to it. If you open that file from Windows, you will
have a ready-to-complete mail message window on your screen.

Jocelyn, I tried what you suggested but there is no option to save as an
Outlook Template (.OFT) file. I have Outlook 2003 and use Word 2003 as my
e-mail editor. Should I not use Word as my e-mail editor or do I have to
just type in the extension myself.

You'll have to temporarily switch back to using Outlook as your e-mail
editor to save a .OFT file. It won't work from WordMail.
