Having trouble creating an "out of office" template to work in a Peer
to Peer LAN [no exchange server].
I have tried the steps as described in MS KB311107 but for some reason
I can't create the actual template as per

7. in the select a reply template dialog box, click the template that you
saved in step 6 etc.

How to achieve this what am I missing?, I even tried creating a txt
file and saving it with an oft extension and placing it in the
templates folder, no luck there.
