Default How do I use form fields in an email template?

I know how to create an email template in Outlook to use for future emails,
but I need to know if there's a way to add form-fields in that template. I
can't figure out how to do it because it tells you to "uncheck" the Word
Editor before you create the template. Also, how do I make that template
available for use by other users in the company?

I also tried to "Design a Form", but can't figure out how to add text to the
mail message -- it only shows the form fields you can add/delete/reconfigure.
Help!

1. Turn off Word as the email editor.
2. Create a new message containing the message text you want.
3. Choose Tools | Forms | Design This Form and add other fields.
4. Choose Tools | Forms } Publish Form and publish it to the Organizational Forms library to make it available to other people.
