I have migrated from outlook 2003 to 2010. I had bunch of templates created in outlook 2003 with particular format. When migrated the templates in outlook 2010 does not seem to have preserved their format. Any suggestion? I tried overwriting them in 2010 but no luck.

When I open the oft, make text changes and send it as an email, the image links are all broken. When I look at the source behind the sent email, it took the image path and stuck it in the alt path. What’s up with that?

I wish Microsoft would get off their high horse and join the rest of the web community in being standards compliant!

I’m glad the tutorial helped. As to the program crashing it could be a number of issues. Do other HTML pages make Outlook crash? If so it could be something wrong with your install. If not the way I usually troubleshoot bugs like this is by eliminating one chunk of code at a time and then re-testing. Repeat the process until you can find the culprit.

I also have another tutorial for Outlook 2010 which uses Internet Explorer to send the webpage to Outlook. You could try using that method with Outlook 2007.

Thanks for this, I was looking for a way to convert to OFT and found a whole bunch of macro based routes but I’m useless with macros at the best of times.. your tut does the job in the simplest possible fashion, thanks! Now the only problem is ironing out some of the display issues it creates after sending… can’t help but blame the software as the HTML variants work perfectly when sent as tests via campaign monitor.

Cheers

I use Microsoft Office outlook 2007. Is there any way that I can create spreadsheet/document hyperlinks on toolbar.

Thanks

Are you saying you want to click their email address? I don’t see how this could be done unless you wrote a custom macro for office. I don’t have experience with MS macros, but you might want to target your search in that direction.

I am searching the answer for this problem since last year.
Can anyone tell me how to use mailto protocol in order to send the mail directly from my Custom Template. I am sending A LOT of E-mails to very different employers, and i just want , when I click there e-mail link, to open a new message with my cover letter, atachments allready made, subject, and address writen. Please don’t suggest to make a list of addreses because I never know what address is next. So , in short, do I have to modify the new message form?
Or what other solution exists.

Thank you .
Excuse my english.
