Creating Your Own HTML Email Templates in Outlook

If you want HTML Emails in Outlook to look the way YOU want, and your designing them in DreamWeaver - Heres How:

Step 5

Enter any unique name (not an existing stationary name), then select (by clicking) the Use this file as a template radio button, then click Browse.

x:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftStationery

If you wish to make 'instant' changes to your stationary, just edit and save this file, and outlook will reference the new file.

If plain old HTML is a bit too boring for your email templates, or you just want greater control of your elements - you CAN use CSS.

The only thing you need to remember, is that your CSS needs to be in the same HTML file.
