Outlook Stationery

R0bert Neville · Jun 1, 2005

I would like to create stationery for my Outlook emails. Upon viewing
the mundane samples included with Outlook, several questions come to
mind. The HTML code is list below for your reference.

Why do these samples include the id, "ridTitle" or "ridBody"? The
style sheet does not apply any attributes to this ID. A quick Google
did not lead me to the answer.

Could someone explain if style attributes could be applied to reply
text? In other words, when you hit the reply button, Outlook display
the quote text with either greater than character or a message header.
How do you style this reply text?

Does Outlook replace the non breaking space in-between the <p> element
(example below)?

Do you need to include the document type and character encoding in the
stationary, since these sample left it out?

Please let me know any other suggestions and pointer on stationery for
Outlook.

HTML Code for Stationery titled "Blank":
==============================
<html><head><title id="ridTitle">Blank</title> <style></style>
</head> <body id="ridBody" background="Blank Bkgrd.gif"><p> </p>
</body> </html>

FYI

If Microsoft Word is your e-mail editor, you can't create new stationery
from Word. However, you can create a new stationery in Microsoft Outlook,
which Word then adds to its stationery list.

1.. From the main Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and
then click the Mail Format tab.
2.. In the Compose in this message format list, click HTML.
3.. Click Stationery Picker, and then click New.
4.. In the Enter a name for your new stationery box, enter a name.
5.. Under Choose how to create your stationery, select the option you
want.
To select a file to base your stationery on, type the path and file name
in the Use this file as a template box, or click Browse to select from a
list.

6.. Click Next.
7.. Select the options you want to use.
Note This procedure is available only if you use HTML as your message
format.

AND (also from Help)
1.. In the message, on the File menu, click Save Stationery.
2.. Enter a file name, and then click OK.
Note When you save stationery in Microsoft Outlook, it's saved to the
stationery list in Microsoft Word, too.

Thanks Pat for all the information. You posted some jems here.

However, I am still hoping for additional information on the
following questions.

Do you need to include the document type and character encoding in the
stationary, since these samples left it out?

Does Outlook replace the non breaking space in-between the <p> element
(example below)?

Hopefully, someone could add additional insight to this post.
