Hello,

I have several standard message templates that I currently access from the Home ribbon by clicking New Items->More Items-Choose Form. In the Choose Form dialog I change Look in to User Templates in File System and I can choose the template I want.

How do I do the same in New Outlook?

Thanks,

Paul

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding so quickly.

    The new Outlook is version: 1.2023.411.200 (Production). Client Version is 20230414002.05 .

    My licence is MS 365 Business Premium.

    In the previous version I could go:

    Then pick the required template.

    In the new version, none of it is there:

    Unless it has been moved. I have looked and searched for help on this, but am stuck.

    Best wishes,

    Paul

    I'm using the online version right now. Since the versions look a lot alike has anyone tried:

    1. Select New Mail
    2. Select Insert from the menu
    3. Select Apps

    Yea it sucks because the templates I use through "old" Outlook are technically what they call "forms," and we use them mainly because they will save attachements, subjects, and recipients. It really blows that they didn't include this feature in new Outlook, it's basically like they regressed the whole functionality.

    While that is a help, and can be useful, it lacks the functionality of the old templates.

    For example:

    1. It cannot save the subject of the email
    2. It cannot save attachments
    3. it does not save recipients (the old templates saved any number of recipients CCed or main)
