Hi,

I have designed a template with a signature and some formatting.

Well, I am kind of surprised about the lack of intuition to use
a template.
Should be "New->Message from template" to create a new message.
Well, I have to select Tools->Form->Choose Form and then select
my template. Kind of akward.

Any way to have that template automatically picked as the default
new message template for a specific email account?

Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,
Steve JORDI

Instead of a form, you can also use stationery. Then you can put your
stationery file (htm-file) in your Stationery folder and you can select it
via Actions-> New Mail Using

I wouldn't include a signature in a template but leave that to the Signature
feature.

Did that, but my stationery doesn't appear in the list.
I have only Plain Text, RTF and HTML.
If I select "more stationery...", nothing happens.
Just checked the install, and it's a full Outlook install. So they
should not be missing.

Well, actually, that's my point. The stationery/template I want to use
is just a formatted signature matter. A signature I'm not able to add
in the Signature tool.
Can you add fully HTML formatted signatures in Outlook 2007 via the
signature options? Especially if I have an HTML file in order to embed
a table?

Thanks again for your very prompt help.

Sincerely,
Steve JORDI

Oh, then you can use an even easier solution;
You can directly drop your htm-, txt- and rtf-file of your signature in the
Signatures folder.

You aren't putting it in the correct stationery folder, because it will show
up if its in the stationery folder in AppData. (Vista:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Stationery or XP:
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Stationery)

Or %AppData%\Microsoft\Stationery no matter which OS you use.
