Save As Outlook Template is missing. How to get it back.
I've always been able to create email templates by choosing save as type,
Outlook Template (*.oft). Now Outlook Template is no longer an option to choose. The closest thing is a Document Template, which is not as good. Does anyone know how I can get my .oft option back again? It used to be available on my desktop (for 2 years) and I have the same problem with a recent new install of Office 2003 on my Tablet. Clueless. -- mmman

Save As Outlook Template is missing. Thanks now new problem
Sue,
Thank you for the prompt response. Good tip. I created the template and I can see that it is in the ...\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\*.oft folder but when I go to Tools/Forms/Choose Form/User Templates in File System it does not show up. I closed Outlook and reopened but that did not load the file either. Any clues? -- mmman "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Turn off Word as your email editor.

No, it's not that easy to find another thread. Do you see any .oft files at all in the Outlook dialog? What if you save it to a different folder? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "MeetingMountainMan" wrote in message ...

Save As Outlook Template is missing. Thanks now new problem
Ok...here is what I wrote in the other email:
"Dear Sue, Thanks for the help. It seemed to work great and saved the email as an .oft However, being able to access the template is a problem. I understand the directions for loading it to be: Tools/Forms/Choose a Form/look in User Templates in File System However, the template I created is not visible from there to open. I explored to c/Docs & Settings/Admin/Application Data/Microsoft/Templates and I can see the template, but it is listed under "Type" as a File, not an ..oft" ______________ I don't understand your question..."Do you see any .oft files in the Outlook dialog?" What is Outlook dialog? I went into Choose a Form/Standard Templates and can see the mail.oft ... is that what you mean. As for saving to a different folder, I saved one in Forms, but again, navigating to it through Choose a Form doesn't lead me to it there either...but navigating the route I listed above to the Templates folder shows it is there.

Sue,
Shows it is there in what context? Windows Explorer? Again, check the file extension. That's the problem. It has no extension. It is listed as a file. I did save as Outlook Template and it is in the Templates folder but it is not an ..oft .
