problem using templates for email

B

BullseyeQHiggins

Hi,

I want to use a custom set of heading 1-9 fonts/bullets as a template
for new emails. I've used these fonts/bullets as a template in Word
for some time by modifying normal.dotm. New Word docs open just fine
with fonts and bullets as expected.


I've tried a couple methods to have new emails open with those same
fonts/bullets but no luck.


Plan A) I modified normalemail.dotm just as I did normal.dotm to add
bullets and custom fonts to Heading1 - 9. (While Outlook was closed
of course.) When I open a new email, however, only the _fonts_ for
Heading 1 - 9 are correct from the modified template but the bullets
don't show.


Plan B) As a workaround, I tried creating a Quick style set which
contains the correct formats/bullets for Heading 1-9 and setting that
to be the default quick style set (using the Change Styles/Set as
Default choice), and the same thing happens: new emails have the
correct fonts for Heading 1 - 9 but not the correct bullets. I do
know the style set works, however. If I manually choose this style
set on each email, bullets and fonts are correct -- but if I don't
choose it, only the fonts and not the bullet formats are used.


Any ideas on how to either get new messages to use the
normalemail.dotm template fonts/bullets or failing that, to get the
quick style set fonts/bullets to actually be used when the quick
style
set is default?


Thanks in advance.
