Word Template used in Outlook e-mail

J

Joe McGuire

I use Office 2003. In Outlook I have Word set as the e-mail editor. I have
made and used Signatures for e-mail. BUt each new e-mail I create has
undesired formatting. As I understand it all Word documents start with a
template, I am trying to find the template for Outlook e-mail. I see
nothing obvious in the usual folder where my Word templates are stored (I
have lots of my own templates for creating Word documents). Is there a
default template that Word uses for e-mail? If so, where can I find it--and
modify it?

I don't know if this is related but I noticed that a style I have for e-mail
signatures recently showed up in my normal.dot. I may have tried to modify
the style and checked "Add to template" assuming the change would be added
to the e-mail template. Why any such changes would show up in normal.dot
instead of the e-mail template is a puzzle--unless they are one and the
same--which would deepen my confusion. I changed normal.dot to get rid of
that style along with a few others that got in there by mistake. Now when I
create a new e-mail in Outlook, my signature is there along with the style
for it. Maybe that comes from the Signature I created and saved. OK. But
there are also a few styles that belong in normal.dot, so there must be some
mysterious connection between normal.dot and whatever template Word is using
for my e-mail.
Any help unravelling this would be appreciated.
