How to setup Templates in Word 365 and Outlook 365
Hello: I am a new user of this discussion forum. So please bear with me. I have used the feature of Templates extensively in my last Office version (Office 2007). I have now upgraded to Offic...
khsayeed In Outlook, create a new message and then go to the Format Text tab of the ribbon and modify the style(s) that you want to use so that they have the desired formatting
and, like in Word, before dismissing the Modify Style Dialog, select the New documents based on this template radio button.
Outlook also has its own template (*.oft) files, each of which can be set up with its own set of styles if required. However to create a message from a particular template, it is necessary to use a macro that contains the command
CreateItemFromTemplate

Thank you again Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP, for replying to my last post.
Regrettably, I am not a programmer and am not familiar with Visual Basic to be able to use the contents of the link you have provided.
Would you know about the template files with extensions like .dotx and dotm, which were available in Office 2007 (Word 2007 and Outlook 2007) and were used to assign a set of Styles to an existing document (or a new document) which was opened in either of the two applications mentioned above ?
Please let me know where I can find the procedure to accomplish the same objective in Outlook 365 and Word 365 ?
Thanks.
