How to Put Stationery in Outlook Email

For a little extra something to set your email apart from others', use email stationery. If you were going to hand-write a letter to someone, chances are you would choose the paper based on how it looks and feels. While you cannot choose the physical texture of an email, you can alter the appearance. Choose a background for your emails based on the season or use your company's own letterhead as the backdrop for corporate email.
