How do I make a Custom Form? 1

[tracyw]

Hi,
How do I make a custom form that the whole company should use as their default email message. Example: on the bottom of each email message sent, we want something like, "Property of Company Name" "All Rights Reserved 2001"

Is this possible so that when they click on the New Message button, that the form with those words on it, is automatically there??

We use Outlook98 with Microsoft Exchange.
I have administrative rights if that helps.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Tracyw,

You could set up a signature for all emails - I think it's in Tools, Autosignature. In Outllook Express it's in Tools, Options, Signature.

Otherwise you'd have to fiddle about with a Word template.

Thanks JillC.
Thats a possibility, but then each person would have to go in and put a signature. I was kind of hoping for the "footer" to be automatically there. But thanks.

I was able to get to the design a form screen. But when I Add the Item of "footer" that I created, and drag it to the bottom of the message area, it disapears, like its going behind the message area. I eventually, was able to place it below the message area but you do not see it when you send a message. The person receiving the message doesn't see it either until they either do Print preview or actually print it.
Is there a way to make this "footer" be seen to the sender and receiver when its in outlook??

Anyone Know how to do this?????

Thanks!!!

In Outlook select tools option then mail format at the bottom of the tab select the signiture to be used by default. I outlook Express select tools options -> signitures the the you default sig and select add signiture to all outgoin mail.

If want to createthe formyou can add to the main Message content like this.

First create you signiture set it as default then make sure its set to be added to new mails. Its important you do this first, Then when you create your form using the message template you'll notice that the signiture is already in the main text window.
I've only played with forms but another way would be to add a Label from the control Toolbox and type your Signiture in that, but bear in mind you have to add this to the the Read Page "edit Read Page" as well, though doing it this way is fine for anyone using Outlook if mails from this form are sent to anyone not using Outlook for example Lotus Notes, anything else you add not in the main message body is not visible

to make a custom form, go to tools, forms, choose a form then it will give you a list of the default mail, contact, note etc forms which will be in the standard forms libary. Choose one of these forms and it will open it up, now to design this form you want to go to tools, forms and then design this form. Now you can change the form to how you want it, when you have finished you want to go to tools,forms and then publish form as and you want to give it a name and save it in to the organizational libary so then everyone else can see it
