Out of Office Question

We're new to O at our office. On occasion, I get OOO replies when I email
people. I ask how they set it up and everyone tells me Tools, then Out of
Office. My choices under Tools do not include OOO but they do include Rules
Wizard. I feel sure somewhere in there is a way to set up OOO replies but I
haven't hit upon the exact procedure. Help is no help at all. I have the disc,
I run W2000 Professional. Can someone give me the drill to set up an OOO reply
so I can turn it on before I go on vacation next week? Thanks in advance to all
who help or try. Steve Ignots
 
Steve,
You need to be using Outlook with Exchange Server in order to have access to
the Out of Office Assistant. If you are on Exchange Servere and still don't
see the OOO option under Tools, then you may have to install the Exchange
Extensions add-in.
 
Are you connected to an Exchange Server? If not you will not have that
option.

If you're not on Exchange you can emulate it. See

Be aware however, that to emulate the OOOA effectively you have to have your
internet connection always on and you have to leave Outlook always open
while you are away.
