Thanks! I hadn’t created an oft in about year (when I had 2007). Don’t do it very often, obviously, and was trying to refresh my memory. Using Word’s Help feature showed your article and voila! gave me what I needed. Saved me tons of time (sometimes, I refuse to read the manual or search the help topics and insist on figuring it out myself. Only to discover I’ve wasted 2 hours). L8r.

Hi Shaun,

How to changed the doctype to HTML 4.01 transitional (from XHTML 1.0) ?

Thanks for this.

I was having trouble at first. The OFT would save fine, but then if I tried to resend it, it would strip out all the HTML.

I changed the doctype to HTML 4.01 transitional (from XHTML 1.0) and it works now.

Excellent trick – I am not a HTML programmer so just tried the same thing using MS Publisher 2010, I created my Auto Reply using the Publisher Email template, clicked “send to email recipient”, then clicked “email preview” which opened IE. I then followed your instructions and it work perfectly – thanks
