Recently, a client asked how to create a template in Outlook 2007, enabling them to quickly compose consistent messages, and reuse the same message again and again.  Here’s the quick way to create and then use an email template.

To create a template:

1.       Click the New icon to create a new mail message.

2.       Type the content for your email template; enter the Subject and other relevant information in the body of the message.

3.       Go to Office button > Save As.

4.       In File name, enter the name of the template.

5.       In Save as type, select Outlook Template from the drop down menu.

6.       Click Save.

Use a Template:

1.       From Outlook, click Tools > Forms > Choose Form...

2.       Browse to your email template, select it and click Open.

3.       The template will open, you can still make changes to it, and Save As a new template, if required.  Alternatively, add the recipient’s name and send the message.
