Is there a way that I set up an individual address so that whenever I
receive a mail from it Outlook automatically sends a receipt whether they
ask for it or not?

Define a rule to auto-reply. If "individual address" means a specific
sender then, in the rule, test for that sender. If it meant a specific
account then add the clause to test for which account from which an
e-mail was retrieved.

Clause: "reply using a <specific template>"

You'll have to define the template used in your auto-reply rule. Hit
F1 and read Outlook's help on how to create a template (searching on
"stationery" turns up better articles). Basically you start composing
a new e-mail with whatever style and content you want and then save it
as a template instead of sending it. I would suggest not using
anything fancy in your auto-reply; i.e., don't use HTML and instead
just use plain-text to ensure the recipient's of that auto-reply can
actually read it.
 
That's just the template file. Outlook will convert it to a message
when it sends it.

The I must be doing something wrong.
I saved the template to the templates folder eg Auto Receipt.oft
Then I created a rule which said if I get an email from (e-mail address removed)
send C://program files/Microsoft Office/Templates/1oo3/Auto Receipt.oft
(the path is made up)
but this did not work.
Which bit is wrong?

Sorry to reply again before you answered, but when I go to "Save As" I do
not have a list of options except anoth 'Save As ..... in various formats".
If I click that it goes to the documents library. I do not have an option
to save as a template except manually.
