| 1) Create a Template Message by:
| New message
| Leave "To:" Field blank
| Subject: Out of Office
| Enter the message you would like to send
| File>Save as>choose the location
| file type (Outlook Template)
| file name.
|
| 2) Create a Rule
| Tools>Rules Wizard...>New
| Select "Start from a blank rule" at the top, and "Check messages
| when they arrive"
| Next
| Tick the box "where my name is in the To: or Cc:" box"
| Next
| Tick the box "reply using a specific template"
| In the lower box click the words "a specific template"
| (underlined)
| At the very top "Lookin:" choose "User Templates in file system"
| Browse to your Template from 1), click "open"
| Next
| Next - choose your own name for the rule eg "Out of Office"
