I use Word as a text editor when I work with Outlook 2003 (Tools / Options /
Mail Format / Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages).

I'd however like to automatically use another template than normal.dot when
I create a new mail message. I've tried to experiment with Tools / Templates
and Add-Ins / Templates / Attach (Document Templates) but I cannot get it to
work -- always reverts to Normal.dot.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Henrik

You will need to use the Outlook message editor to use anything but the Word
template.

However, you can edit the email.dot which is the default form for new mail
messages in Outlook/Word 2003.

But the point is exactly that I WANT to use a Word template, I just don't
want to use Normal.dot -- which is the one showing up under Tools / Templates
and Add-Ins / Templates / Attach (Document Templates), not Email.dot

Huh? Millie answered you and you responded to that answer two days before
reposting, so you DID receive an answer and you DO know you did. Just because
it wasn't the answer you wanted to here doesn't make your statement above
true.
