My Templates in New Outlook and Web Explained
I haven't been able to access templates on outlook.office.com for some time, so I use signatures instead. The signatures editor is much better than templates, and I think you can insert more than 32k? I have inserted large photos into signatures (used as templates) and it doesn't object to the size of the template, but that might be because it only stores a link to the photo, maybe.
If they do re-introduce templates, I hope it has an editor as good as the signature editor.
Best regards

Good call Paul! I didn't use Templates a ton, but did use them for repetitive tasks, such as password resets and such. The signatures trick accomplishes practically the same thing, so thank you for sharing that.

I used to have complete functionality of Mytemlates, and now when I try to add a new one, no matter how many characters, it says it is too large. Make it smaller. I even tried using a single word, and it still gives the same message: too large and smaller.
whitteky That's good MyTemplates is working for you. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work on the web.
From my past experience, if you have any templates for which you pasted formatted text/images into, these can take up a significant amount of the limited storage space. You may wish to try copying each of your templates into a document, then copying each one from the document and pasting TEXT ONLY (CTRL+Shift+V) into each template option within MyTemplates. Within the template editor, you can use keyboard commands to bold, underline or italicise text within the templates. This should conserve space.
