out of office assistant

[Guest]

I have Windows XP Professional Edition and I am having trouble setting up my
out of office assistant so I can create an email to automatically go out each
time I get an email (when I am out of town). The regular Outlook 2003 has a
tab under tools called "out of office assistant" but the Professional version
doesn't seem to. I tried creating a "rule" but it doesn't send out the
template email I've created but rather sends out a generic template that I
can't modify. PLEASE HELP....I am leaving town for a few weeks and would
like people to know why they won't be getting an email response from me.

This is NOT a WinXP question.

It is a MS Office question and that is the proper place to ask.

If you don't have Outlook 2003 installed, and if you're not connected
to an Exchange sever, there is no Out of Office Assistant. This is a
function of Outlook, in conjunction with Exchange Server. Outlook is a
component of all Editions of Microsoft Office, including Office 2003
Professional; it is *not* a component of WinXP Professional. The Out of
Office Assistant is not an available feature for WinXP's built-in
Outlook Express.
