Out of Office template

[Roberto le Cornielle]

Having trouble creating an "out of office" template to work in a Peer
to Peer LAN [no exchange server].
I have tried the steps as described in MS KB311107 but for some reason
I can't create the actual template as per

7. in the select a reply template dialog box, click the template that you
saved in step 6 etc.

How to achieve this what am I missing?, I even tried creating a txt
file and saving it with an oft extension and placing it in the
templates folder, no luck there.

Are you using Word as your e-mail editor? Try using Outlook Rich Text
Format instead of Word.

I have tried your suggestion but still it gets bogged down at step 7.
<quote> click the template you saved in step 6. of the "How to Define
an automated Reply Template" section and then click open.
At no point during the steps am I asked to create a template , so
how does one do this.

I posted this earlier this month, Milly Staples suggested I make sure
to use rich text [which I am] but still no luck so I am asking again
for help in resolving this issue.
