custom background pattern or image

G

Does anyone know if there is a way in Entourage 2004 to set a custom
repeating pattern as the default background image in an email? I have
clients using Entourage 2004 in a mixed pc/mac environment, and the pc
users (outlook/exchange server) have standardized on a specific repeating
background logo for all corporate communications. I can't find anywhere on
this site or the web where it talks about if this is even possible with
Entourage 2004.

Thanks in advance for any help. Please email me at [email protected] if
anyone can help. It would be nice if Microsoft could help us out, rather than
us always helping each other. Oh well...

No, Entourage doesn't allow you to create templates or stationery. Some
users choose to create messages as stationery and save them as drafts. To
create a new message, the user can select the draft and duplicate it to
start a new message.

Another option is to create a signature. Go to Tools > Signatures, and then
go to Message > Insert > Background Picture. Now, you can click the
signature toolbar button and select a signature for a new HTML message to
get the default background. Or, you can have the signature inserted by
default by selecting it in the "Default Signature" pop-up of your account in
Tools > Accounts / Options tab.

Another option is Paul Berkowitz's free "Message Template" script.
