Hi
I would like to create a very simple template in Outlook
with a couple of information field and some fields that are pre-filled
like the To: field.

Is it absolutely necessary that the form be published to the forms library or
can this be done by saving it as a .oft file and creating a shortcut to this
file.

This is for a single department within the same organisation sharing the
shared folders.

I don't have access to publish any forms in our organisation and that will
not likely
change in the near future.
