I'm away msg

[Roberto le Cornielle]

I posted this earlier this month, Milly Staples suggested I make sure
to use rich text [which I am] but still no luck so I am asking again
for help in resolving this issue.

Having trouble creating an "out of office" template to work in a Peer
to Peer LAN [no exchange server].
I have tried the steps as described in MS KB311107 but I get
bogged down at step 7.
<quote> click the template you saved in step 6. of the "How to Define
an automated Reply Template" section and then click open.
At no point during steps 1 through 6 am I asked to create a template
, so
how does one do this.
PS we are using Office 2007 Small Business.

Create an email message, go to the File menu (or Office menu in OL2007) and
choose "Save As" then save the item as an OFT file

Vince
thank you for that, I will give it a go and get back here with the
results.

Got the template set, but how to enable/disable ?.
With Office 2003 you simply go to >tools > out of office assistant >
select your choice, I am new to 2007 so were do we set this.

Not sure about that since I don't use an Exchange Server, so no OOA for me.
According to the Help it's still on the Tools menu.

Neither am I Vince, which is the root of my problem, with Exchange
Server it's a no brainer to implement, this is a Peer to Peer
Workgroup.
Can't find it on the tools menu [were it used to be in
Office20003]
Any one else care to help out.

You can't use OOA without an Exchange server.

Your only other option, if you really must use one, is to create a rule
to do it and leave Outlook logged in. Not a great solution.

Many ISPs now offer Webmail with a "vacation notice" function.....

Well, o.k., but that has nothing to do with Outlook. I understood the
OP to want to set it up in Outlook.

I was offering a viable alternative to Exchange and Rules....
