you can create a true email template

00:00:06

so you can quickly reuse a consistent message structure.

00:00:10

For example,

00:00:11

you can reuse an enhanced signature,

00:00:14

standard wording,

00:00:15

or a ready-made reply outline without relying on an add-in.

00:00:19

From your inbox,

00:00:20

stay on the home tab and open the drop down next to new mail.

00:00:25

In that menu select mail to open a new compose window.

00:00:30

Next,

00:00:30

write the content you wanna keep exactly as is

00:00:34

by filling in the subject line

00:00:36

and the message body the same way you would for an email that is ready to send

00:00:41

while keeping in mind that you will not send it at this stage.

00:00:45

When your message is ready,

00:00:46

open the options menu by selecting the 3 dot

00:00:49

menu in the command bar of the compose window.

00:00:53

In the panel that appears,

00:01:08

then select save.

00:01:11

You will then switch to template editing mode,

00:01:14

which is confirmed by the indicator at the top of the window,

00:01:18

and your changes are saved automatically as you go

00:01:22

with a saving status shown in the message area.

00:01:25

When you want to start from an existing template,

00:01:28

return to the main Outlook window,

00:01:31

open the new mail drop down again

00:01:33

and select mail template.

00:01:36

The templates window opens and displays your template library.

00:01:40

Select the template you want,

00:01:42

then open it by clicking it to generate a new message based on that layout.

00:01:47

You can then update the recipients,

00:01:49

adjust the subject if needed,

00:01:52

fill in any variable details,

00:01:54

and send your email as usual.

00:01:56

00:01:57

00:01:58

or clean up your templates,

00:02:00

00:02:03

then go to mail and open templates.

00:02:05

You will see the list of saved items along

00:02:07

with quick actions to download or delete a template.

00:02:15

select add template,

00:02:17

choose the file using browse,

00:02:20

enter a name,

00:02:21

and confirm the import to add it to your library

00:02:24

so you can use it like any other template.

00:02:26

By saving templates directly in the new Outlook,

00:02:30

you standardize your communications and save time

00:02:33

every time you write a new message.
