The ALT-F4 closes the draft email containing the text I use. Then I go back to the new email I'm about to send and CTL-V to paste the text.I've just got all my formats saved in my draft folder, so I open the relevant email in "Drafts", CTL-A, CTL-C, ALT-PF4, CTL-VThanks! It shortened the process, but I don't have the right version of Outlook. I've saved a file in Office to cut and paste.Oh I guess I have the terminology wrong. Stationary in Outlook is the "format for the look, background etc" In my old Eudora Stationary was like a template.I've tried doing stationery before but could never save it properly. I'm going to go look at it again.Why don't you just type up a "stationary" in Notepad or Word of exactly what you want to say. Leave blanks where you fill in the time, date, etc. Save the file then when you need it, just "Copy & Paste" it into an email.... simple as that. Can't you create "stationary" in your email software? That's what I always did and it worked just fine.I like the idea of a preformatted standard reply where I fill in the blanks. I have to figure out how to do that on my email service. I generally type out a whole email response and I may get sloppy if I've done a lot of them that day.
But, even when we're full I refer them to places that are not. With a 'you may want to try...' like you do. I do the same if they're looking for a single room for 5 because we don't take 5 but I know places that do..

Ha, just goes to show what I know...I looked up how to do the stationery and voila! I already had 3 in there.
But, it doesn't allow me to save an entire email format, just an overall 'look'. Still have to get the entire email saved somewhere.

Maybe this link will help you.

.What does ALT PF4 do for you? For me it closed the email. But, thanks for the draft folder idea. That makes it easier.Highlands John said:I've just got all my formats saved in my draft folder, so I open the relevant email in "Drafts", CTL-A, CTL-C, ALT-PF4, CTL-V

Almost there...I have 2 sig lines now that are exactly the same, so I have to cut and paste only the part of the email I want. (Thus the CTL-A won't work.) But this is much better than having to open up Word to copy the email.Highlands John said:The ALT-F4 closes the draft email containing the text I use.

Now, another question...how can I get my new 'stationery' to show up when I 'reply' to an email? I am always stuck with whatever lame background, font, whatever that the original email from the guest had in it.
How can I get the email reply coming from me back to the guest have MY font & colors in it without having to go thru and set it up each time?
