This method of installing email stationery sets up Outlook or Outlook Express so that it will appear with each new message you create, automatically. Don’t know what email stationery is? Read the previous article.
What you need before you start
If you have ordered email stationery from us, you will receive a file that will install everything you need on your computer. All we have to do is tell Outlook/Outlook Express where it is!
Using Outlook Express 5
These instructions were prepared using Outlook Express 5. Other versions may differ slightly, but should be more-or-less the same. Contact us if you get stuck.
Step 1
Open Outlook Express. Click ‘Tools’ on the menu bar, then click “Options”.
Step 2
Click the ‘Compose’ tab near the top of the options window. About half way down you’ll see a section titled ‘Stationery’. Click to place a tick next to ‘Mail’, then click ‘Select’.
Step 3
If you have correctly installed the stationery file we sent you, you should see your name among this list. Click it once to select it then click ‘OK’
Step 4
Your name should now appear in the box next to the ‘Select’ button you clicked before. Click ‘OK’ at the bottom of this window to confirm your selection.
Step 5
The next time you click ‘New Mail’, a new message window will open that is automatically formatted with your new stationery!
