Create letterhead in Outlook 98

[Andronium]

I have a client who would like to have their department letterhead come up everytime they create a new message within Outlook. Is there a way to do this like a normal.dot Word template so that it will come up every time a new message is created? Anyone have any other suggestions on how to do this? I don't particularly want them using Word as the default editor unless it's the only way. Any help appreciated!

I think this is all your going to get, though there may be VBA solutions:

Outlook uses the outlook.dot if you are using Word. Works the same as normal.dot and lives next to it.

Andy doesn't want to use Word, Zelandakh.

I know...

I meant to say that editing outlook.dot is a quick word around if you use Word. Didn't express myself too clearly.

Apols.

Thank you Dreamboat and Zelandakh. I might try the html article suggestion. I did find some vba stuff on technet, but it's a little out of my league.

HTML is proving to be too much of a hassle for this problem. Zelandakh- I tried creating an Outlook.dot and saved it in same directory as normal.dot (two places actually: program files\microsoft office\templates and winnt\profiles\(username)\Application Data\Microsoft\templates). Then I set Outlook to use Word to compose emails. The template is not coming up though. Did I put it in the wrong place, or name it incorrectly?

Thanks- Andy

Andy, I believe that's email.dot. Did you check out

http://www.slipstick.com?

And I just put "free outlook stationery" (including the quotes) into yahoo and got a butt-ton of returns that look promising. There should be somebody that's got instructions on how to use it, right?
