outlook 2007 - stationery help

[Haris]

Hi,

I am trying to setup stationery in outlook 2007, can you tell me how do I
add my own stationery.

in outlook 2003, I can design my own stationery using dreamweaver and copy
the html + images to stationery directory, but I could not find where
stationery directory in outlook 2007, it looks like the directory is
different in 2007 and also I can not add stationery from inside outlook like
in 2003.

is it possible to my own statioery in outlook 2007?

Thanks

It's in the same place in each version -- %appdata%\Microsoft\Stationery

Hi Sue,

Thank you for the reply, I could not find the directory mention on the Blog.

I am using Vista RC1 and Office 2007 Beta (12.0.4017.1006).
I have tried to copy my stationery directory (contains .htm & .gif files) to
* Create a new directory under
/users/haris/appdata/local/Microsoft/Stationery,
and copy the stationery files there (does not work - does not show up on
themes selection inside office 2007)
* found stationery directory in
/users/haris/appdata/roaming/microsoft/stationery and copy the files into
this directory still does not work
* try to copy to /program files/common files/microsoft shared/themes12
directory it (also does not work).
* I found directory /users/haris/application data, but it seems to be a
shortcut
I could not find where it links to from properties windows, I can not
double
click it to see where it links as well.

Would the directory layout is different under Vista environment somehow?

Thank you.

Regards

As the article explains, different folders hold different types of files for use as stationery or themes. %appdata%\Microsoft\Stationery is the only location for storing .htm files for use as stationery. It maps to different locations in different operating systems, but should work in any operating system. It worked fine here in Vista RC1.
