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.

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

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.

I posted this earlier this month, Milly Staples suggested I make sure
to use rich text [which I am] but still no luck so I am asking again
for help in resolving this issue.
