How do I set up Out of Office Msg no server attached

[Ambogirl]

I have Windows XP with Office 2002. I am trying to attach an out of office
message through rules wizard but it is not allowing me to amend a previous
template that is on system to show updated details.

That location shouldn't be used to store your custom templates nor should
you modify any files in that location.

Create a new message with Outlook set as you email editor and after you
finished composing it, choose File-> Save As...
Now you can save it as an oft-file which you can use in your rules.
You can store it in the per-user Templates folder or simply somewhere in
your My Documents folder. Do not store it in the Program Folders tree.
