Outlook 2002-vacation message

If you are in an Exchange environment (ask your administrator if you do
notknow) you can set the Out of the Office Assistant which is located under
Tools.

If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that replies
on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you'll have to have your
Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set some
exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not reply on
subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc...) otherwhise you could
create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be a real
threat to the mailservers!

Thanks.
I got to that point, but my problem is to create an oft
file.
How do i do it? How do i edit such a file?
Robert
 
Create a new message and put in everything you want (except the "To" field
of course). Choose File-> Save and save it to the location you want. You can
edit it by simply doubleclicking on it type in it and save it again.

And make sure you are not using Word as your editor
before you open the message to save it. (Tools | OPtions

Follow Roady's instructions, first turning off Word as the email editor, as detailed at the page I suggested.
