How can I install the Outlook Template (*.otf)....

[Guest]

I am trying to have an out of office message on my pc...I am set up on a
network system at work. We do not have an Office Assistant because we are on
a server and we work out of domain.

I went to my outlook, created an out of office message and when I try to
save the message and choose the document type....I'm supposed to choose
Outlook Template (*.otf)....I do not have this template....it has not been
installed on my system...I am trying to get the details on how I go about to
install this. My colleage has it on hers, so it can be done....but, we can't
seem to figure out how to put it on my pc. Thanks for your help.

You don't have it because you have to create it. If Word is your editor, turn it off temporarily in Tools | Options | Mail Format. Then create the message you want to send and save it as an .oft file. You can then turn WordMail back on.

Note that you would have to leave Outlook running 24/7 for it to reply to messages automatically.
