Multiple stationeries

Hi

We have three divisions in the company and need different stationery for
each of them. Outlook, as far as I can see, only supports one stationery at
a time. Is there a way to create three stationeries as html files and then
load them somehow, may be via vba code, using buttons on toolbar? Is there a
better way?

Thanks

If you create three .html files and store them in the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery directory, they will be accessible from
within the stationery chooser.
 
I would like to make the selection easier for the user. Possibly by adding
three macros that run when one of the three buttons on toolbar are pressed,
opening one of the three html templates as needed. If I know the vba code to
create a new email from an html template then I think I should be OK.

Regards
 
This is usually a matter of just reading the contents of the .html files in
that Stationery folder, and passing the string to the MailItem.HTMLBody
property.

I've got some sample code that you can download in my blog entry linked
below that could give you some ideas:

It runs fine but I can't seems to find an option to access this form in
design mode to modify.

You should be able to. I'll repeat the complete steps in case you missed
something:

- to import the .frm file, open the Outlook VBA Editor (ALT+F11)
- choose File -> Import File...
- browse to the .frm file
- open the Project Explorer (View -> Project Explorer)
- double-click the form in the list to open in design mode

Do you mean the .frm file in the zip file containing the source code
from
my
blog? Just import it into your Visual Basic Project in the Outlook VBA
Editor.

Thanks

You're right, it doesn't copy text. I never thought of using stationery that
way. You can easily modify the code yourself to read in the text, possibly
by looking for <font> or <H#> tags. Otherwise, using signatures may be an
alternate approach.
