How to use your stationery
in Outlook
Express 5/6:
Click: Message
Click: New Message Using
Click: Select Stationery
After you click
"Select Stationery" an Explorer window opens showing the contents of
your stationery directory; choose the stationery you would like to use (you will
see a small preview when you click a stationery file). Click "OK"
to select the stationery you want and your compose window will open showing the
stationery in the background. It will not be scrolling at this point. Type your
message as you normally would and send it. If you want to see it scrolling you
can now view it in your "Outbox" (while it's sending) or in your
"Sent" folder after the email has finished sending.
Important!
Do not
use the New Mail Button or "Format, Apply Stationery". This will not
work.
Outlook
Express Tip!
You don't have to wait until you send your email to preview the scrolling effect if you enable your edit/source/preview tab. All you have to do when you're in the compose window is click "View" and select "Source Edit" (you'll see a check mark appear next to it when you have selected it). Now you'll see 3 tabs at the lower left hand corner of your compose window:
Edit (the mode in which you write you email)
Source (allows you to see the source code of the email)
Preview (allows you to preview your email as it will appear to your recipient)
IMPORTANT: You cannot send our scrolling, musical, stationery to AOL users (to an AOL address), a Netscape Mail user or any mail program other than: Outlook Express 4.72, Outlook Express 5.0, Outlook Express 5.1, Outlook Express 5.5, 6, Outlook 98, and Outlook 2000.
