You can't publish a file to the Organizational Forms library, only forms.
Create the form by starting with the Tools | Forms | Design a Form command.
Then, in form design mode, use the form's Tools | Forms | Publish Form
command.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms

Use the Tools | Forms | Choose Form command to create a new item using the
..oft file. Then use that item's Publish Form command as I described earlier.
