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

    HiPaul Murray2,

    Greetings!

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Based on the description you posted, it seems that you have an issue with MS Office wherein

    Let’s work together in finding the best solution to this issue.

    For me to better understand the issue, I’d like to ask a few questions:

    • What is the current build number of your Outlook program?

    • What is the current MS Office license you are using? (M365 for home and personal or M365 for business)

    • Have you already tried the same steps on finding the User templates option from your Old Outlook app to the New Outlook?

    In the meantime, we would like you to provide us with some answers first to the questions above. In order for us to provide you with a more accurate solution.

    We look forward to your reply,

    Sincerely

    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 guess it's not (yet) available in the new Outlook.

    You could provide feedback:

    Hi Paul Murray2,

    It seems, like Gérard Oomens has provided us with some additional information about your current inquiry.

    And he mentioned that this feature might not be available yet in the New Outlook program. So we highly suggest that you try the steps provided by Gérard Oomens on how to send a feedback about this matter.

    On the other hand we would like to give our biggest thanks to Gérard Oomens for providing us with some addition option that you can try.
