"Hi I'm Tod Amazeen and I've been an internet business consultant for 15 years. I'm going to show you how to create a new template in Outlook 2007. Microsoft Outlook is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation, a company with which I have no affiliation. With Outlook open click on new in the upper left hand corner to create a new e-mail list. This is the e-mail where we are going to enter any of the information that we want to use as the template and I am going to enter in the subject line and now we click down into the body of the e-mail and type in whatever information we choose. When you are done entering your information into your template click on the office button in the upper left hand corner of the e-mail message, scroll down to save as and then scroll over and click on save as on the right hand side. In the save as type box click on the down arrow and select Outlook template. Make sure to name the file name something that you'll remember and in this case I am going to name mine testing.oft and then click on save. Now we can close this e-mail simply by clicking on the X in the right hand corner and we'll say no when asked do we want to save changes. Now to use the template we just created go to tools, scroll down to forms and scroll over and click on choose form. From the look in drop down menu click on the down arrow and scroll down and select user templates in file system. I have two forms to choose from. I'll click on testing to select the one we just created and then I'll click open and you'll see that your template is open and it's ready for you to send an e-mail. You've just learned how to create a template in Outlook 2007. I'm Tod Amazeen."
