I wish to design a new form with Word in with Outlook 2003. I do not desire
to use any of the default forms or "templates" where a "grid" is used. I want
to design it completely "from scratch", with Word, on a blank Word Document,
as I did with Outlook 97 and Outlook 2000. My designs contained a Document
tab for holding the Word form and a Message tab for emailing the form. I have
discovered that with Outlook 2003 I can no longer find in the Menu Bar
drop-downs the words I need to initiate a new design of this type. I don't
have any trouble making revisions to existing forms I created with Outlook 97
and 2000, but now I want to start a new design and I'm "lost". (I can save an
existing form to a different name, delete all the typing off the form and
start a new form this way, but I would like to know, for training purposes,
the proper way to start a new form design with Outlook 2003.)
The steps I used for starting a new design "from scratch" with Outlook 97
and 2000 were as follows:
1) Click File - New - Office Document (This is where my problem starts -
there is
no 'Office Document' in the 'New' drop-down to click on! How do I bring
up a
"new office document" to begin my design on?)
2) Receive 'New Office Document' window.
3) Select 'Microsoft Word Document' icon and click OK.
4) Receive question box asking "if I want to post the document in this
folder or send
the document to someone".
5) Choose to send the document to someone and click OK.
6) Receive 'Untitled.doc - Document' window with Message and Document tabs.
7) Click Tools - Forms - Design this Form.
8) Receive 'Untitled.doc - Document(Design)' window with Message, Document,
(Properties), and (Action) tabs.
9) At this point, I clicked on the Document tab and proceeded to lay out my
form...
Can you help? Is there a new procedure for initiating a New Office Document
for this type of design?
Any hints would be much appreciated!
Thank you very much,
