Creating out of office rule

[Lost Girl]

I use Windows XP 2002 and do not have an exchange server. Im trying to
create a new rule in Outlook for an out of office auto reply. The problem is
I need to create a template (*.oft) and outlook will not give me the option
of .oft when I try to save a new email as a template. The only template
option it gives me is a microsoft word template. However, the rules wizard
will only accept .oft.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Turn off Word as your message editor and try again.
