Did quick parts disappear with the new outlook? I can't access my old quick parts or make new ones.

I was recently forced to switch to the "new" Outlook and have found the same problem. The "Templates" feature is basically Quick Parts without all the features allowing you to share them across Outlook and Word.

I found a workaround for my custom Outlook templates that is allowing me to create a new email using my templates. I opened my custom template folder in File Manager and saved them as a shortcut to my desktop. It's not as convenient as my Custom Form button in Outlook, but it's faster than going to the folder each time and it allows my attachments and images to remain in the email template.

Find your templates in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates (change "username" for your specific username), then right click on the .oft file and Create Shortcut. Move the short cut to your desktop and double click to open the template. It should open the email template in the new Outlook and allow you to edit and send it.

Hope this helps!

Actually this is the most helpful response so far! Thank you!

It's a shame Microsoft can't prioritize reestablishing this helpful feature since we're kind of a captive audience.

A thousand thank yous!!

This is so not okay... As someone who uses Quickparts, I have recently upgraded my Outlook and now all of my quick parts are gone. It is baffling to understand how this hasn't been rectified and this question was posted in April 2023 and it is now August 2024

Great for text but I had quick parts that were large and made with images etc for software update alerts. Of course Microsoft updates something and doesn't bring in every feature.

Agreed!
