Default Microsoft Outlook 2003 - Forms

I did what you said but now I cannot find the *.oft file that I saved. How
do I open that file?

I said you should not use a ***published*** custom form. If all you need is
a standard message to send frequently, turn off Word as your email editor,
create the message, save it as an .oft file. You can then turn WordMail back
on. When you want to send a message, just double-click the .oft file.

If I don't use a custom form, how would I make a new mail message that I
want to send to various different places without having to retype it over
and over again?

First of all, you should not be using a published custom form except for
internal messages within an Exchange server environment. It will cause
headaches for non-Outlook recipients.

Second, if you can't add attachments, it's probably because you removed
the message body control. Add it back by dragging the Message field from
the Field Chooser to your form.

I have designed myself a form for a mail message that I will be using all
the time. I have published it and then realized I needed to add the
attachment feature as this e-mail will always have attachments but it
will
not allow me to do so. What am I doing wrong? When you make a personal
forms library form, can you not design it to allow you to add attachments
to
it?

You'll have to find it to open it. You can also look for it with the Tools | Forms | Choose Forms dialog. If you use that dialog to locate "User templates in file system," the Browse button should show the default template location on your system.

Next time, try saving the .oft file to a location you can get to easily, like your desktop.
