You will need to have your OFT file published to be able to use it. You can
intercept the Inspectors.NewInspector event and set the MessageClass of the
new item in Inspector.CurrentItem to your custom MessageClass.

For instructions on making a custom form the default form for an item type
look at the Forms pages at www.outlookcode.com.

Hi

In Word if I create a macro called FileNew which pops up a message box
then it will override the default file new code.

What is the equivalent of FileNew in Outlook 2007 so that I can
override the default functionality? and which template/where should I
store
it in so that it works every time.

I have tried making a normalemail.dot but although it keeps my styles
it loses any keystrokes I have assigned and the multilevel numbering.

I tried saving the styles as a styleset and that works, but I have to
switch to the styleset manually each time.

I then created an oft file which works, but I can't work out how to
get it to be the default - so I thought maybe I could 'catch' the
FileNew process and call it that way?

Any other ideas on how to set up a default message that has multi-
level numbered styles with keystrokes attached?
