Using template in Entourage?

B

Brian Taylor

I run an ecommerce site and tend to get a lot of questions that are similar
and usually receive the same response. Is there a way to create a template
or type of form letter that I can just modify as needed and not have to
retype everything?

Thanks in advance!

I have need of this feature a LOT. :) I use a combo of things to insert
messages.

For some of the most common, I use a shortcut to insert. This is
accomplished with a third party applications like Keyboard Maestro,
TypeIt4Me, SpellCatcherX, QuicKeys X. There only so many mnemonics that I
can remember so I use Typist that pops up a list of entries to select from
then inserts into a message. If anyone remembers OneClick in OS9...it had an
Insert Text feature that I still miss today. <sigh>

ancient but it still works

MailTemplate automates and streamlines the process of composing e-mail
messages. Using predefined templates with embedded macros, MailTemplate
dramatically reduces the time involved in composing both replies and new
e-mail messages.

Hope this helps. (inserted with typing shortcut hh)

All URLs were inserted using a shortcut for a script to "Insert URL". See
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/script/fav_scripts.html> for download links
for Insert URLs.
