How to Edit Mail Stationery with Outlook Express
With Outlook Express you can virtually have any type of mail stationery you want. You can have pictures on it, special colors and whatever font you like. Once you get tired of one, you can edit it or go with a totally new one.
- Go to Outlook Express and open it up. Click on “Message” at the top. In the drop down menu click on “New Message Using”. In the side menu, you will see “Select Stationery” and you should click on that.
- Pick one of the 14 items listed if that is what you want and it will give you a preview and open a new message box using that pattern. If however you want to really personalize the stationery, click on “Create New” instead. This will bring up the Stationery Wizard. From here, you can create from scratch your very own personalized stationery.
- Click “Next” and pick out a stationery background first. There are many choices and if you want just a plain color, or keep it white, uncheck the Picture and check the color box on the bottom.
- Leave the Picture box checked if you want to put a picture on your stationery. Use the boxes and pick any picture you have in your computer. It will guide you through it.
- Click “Next” again and the font section will pop up. Here you will pick the font you want in your emails and the size of the font. You can also pick the color of the font and either bold or italic or pick them both. There is also a preview panel so you can see what the font will look like as you choose.
- Hit the “Next” button again and it will allow you to pick your margins. Once again, there is a preview panel and you can see how the margins are affected by your changes.
- Touch the “Next” again and you can personalize your new stationery with a name of your choice. Then once you have picked out the name click “Finish” and it is done.
- Edit the stationery by going into the “Select Stationery” section again, picking out the stationery you wish to edit and clicking on the “Edit” button. It is all that simple and easy.
