Office Handy Hints - Outlook, Create email templates

If you regularly type the same text into an email, why not create an email template and save yourself some time.

Create the email as normal, enter all the text that you want to appear each time you create an email – you can even add the subject line if this is going to be the same on every email but don’t enter any individual information such as email addresses.

Click File, Save As and select Outlook Template from the Save As Type drop down menu.

To create an email based on the template, click New Items on the Home ribbon. Click Choose Form (this may be under More Items depending on the version of Outlook you’re using).

 

 

 

 

From the Look In drop down select ‘User Templates in File System’.

 

**If you have an email signature set up for new emails remember to delete this from the template before you save it otherwise the signature will be displayed twice when you create a new email from the template**
