"New Letter to Contact" command
In Outlook 2003, if I select "New Letter to Contact" command, a "Letter
Wizard" dialogue box opens. In a drop-down box, I can select one of several letter templates. Is there a way to add my own custom templates to that drop down list? |

"New Letter to Contact" command
Yes, but not an easy one.
To send a Form Letter or use a Custom Template for a new letter to a Contact, you can use the Letter wizard invoked with the Actions... New Letter to Contact. For your custom letter template to appear in the list of Page Designs in the Microsoft Word Letter Wizard, the letter templates you create must be saved in the "Letters & Faxes folder Word 97) or the Templates\1033 folder (Word 2000 or 2002). The word "Letter" must be in the file name. Details he http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q181/2/73.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q197/3/40.ASP http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q210884 http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q291186 Once you have set up your Custom Template(s) you should see it as a choice when you use the New Letter to Contact option in Outlook. You cannot load boilerplate text in the body of the letter template. You must create AutoText entries for the boilerplate. The easiest thing to do would be to create one template and load the text for each letter under its own style -- see KB article Q170342 (WD97) or Q207925 (OL2000).
