I have tried your suggestion but still it gets bogged down at step 7.
quote click the template you saved in step 6. of the "How to Define
an automated Reply Template" section and then click open.
At no point during the steps am I asked to create a template , so
how does one do this.

Are you using Word as your e-mail editor? Try using Outlook Rich Text
Format instead of Word.
