Can I use a Word template in the body of Outlook Message?

[jivins]

Outlook and Word 2007.

I have a template that I created in MS Word and what I'm wondering is
this...can I use this template in the body of my Outlook message? I do not
want it to be an attachment. I want it to be displayed as the main body of
the message.

My clients may not read the message if it is an attachment.

Can I turn this Word template into an Outlook Template?

Thanks All!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!

In a word: No.

The Word editor in Outlook is restricted in the Word features it can use, and it does not use Templates in the same way.

Enjoy,
Tony

You can create a separate template for your Outlook e-mail and use it instead.
