How can I use my Outlook Express Stationery in Outlook 2003?

[Victorianartist]

I used to be able to save my stationery to c:\programfiles\microsoft
shared\stationery. I have tons of great stationery and I cannot figure out
how to save it and use it in Outlook 2003. Can anyone help?

This is not an answer. I have been to the "technical" use stationery
picker for "one" stationery. I have about 200 beautiful stationery setups
that I can use in Outlook Express and used to use in Outlook 2000. But I
tried copying them to the outlook 2003 stationery folder, the microsoft
shared .. stationery file, and they do not show up in outlook 2003. If I
cannot use my pretty stationery, I will go back to Outlook Express. I am
totally unable to find a way to use my stationery other than one at a time
where there is no preview, etc. The crappy stationery that ships with
outlook 2003 is there, but I cannot seem to put in my own stationery. I
need help.... please!!!

Am I correct that these are .htm files? If so, then you should indeed be
able to use them directly in Outlook 2003. In fact, they should be using the
same folder, so any new stationery you add in Outlook Express should be
immediately usable in Outlook 2003, and vice-versa.

For example, using Outlook Express, I just made a copy of technical.htm and
named it technical-2.htm. In Outlook 2003, I chose Actions - New Mail
Message Using - More Stationery, and the new file showed up in the list, and
was usable.

Here, the stationery files are kept in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery

And OE and Outlook 2003 both use that same location.
