Using Outlook Stationery

Computer Repair and Consulting Service TIPS

In this lesson, you will learn how to create a new message using Outlook's stationery.

1. Make sure you're in the Inbox folder and select Actions -- New Mail Message Using -- More Stationery from the menu.

   The Select a Stationery dialog box appears. Outlook comes with a wide assortment of stationery, from no-nonsense corporate backgrounds to whimsical and playful ones. When you select a stationery option from the list, Outlook displays a sample of that background. If you don't like any of the stationery options, you can click the Get More Stationery button to download more stationery from Microsoft's web site.

   NOTE: You can only use stationery if your e-mail messages are in Microsoft Outlook Rich Text or HTML format. To see and/or change your message format, select Tools -- Options from the menu and click the Mail Format tab.

2. Browse through the list of stationery options until you find one you like and click OK.

A new Untitled Message form appears with the selected stationery. Because you should already know how to create and send an e-mail message by now, you can close the new message without sending it.

3. Close the Untitled - Message window without saving your changes.

   It is usually considered unprofessional to use stationery in the business world, so be discrete about where and when you use it. It would be a bad idea to send an e-mail to the president of a company using the same teddy bear stationery you use to correspond with your friends.
