Note: Before using this feature of High
Impact eMail, you should have a good understanding of what
stationery is in Outlook or Outlook Express. Consult with the help
systems for those programs and experiment with stationery until you
are comfortable with how it works. You should also understand how
signatures work.
One of High Impact eMail's most interesting
features is that it can create custom stationery for Outlook and
Outlook Express that you can use every time you compose an e-mail
message. It's very easy to select one of the Stationery templates
and choose to add it to Outlook or Outlook Express as Stationery.
You can even choose to make it your default.
To use one of High Impact eMail's templates as stationery in Outlook or Outlook
Express, click on the Stationery folder in the High Impact eMail browser and select the template of your choice.
Then select Tools | Add to Outlook Stationery... or Add to Outlook Express Stationery...
OR
Right-click and from the popup menu, select the Add to Outlook Stationery....
or Add to Outlook Express Stationery... option as illustrated below.
It's important to note that these options are only available to templates in
the Stationery folder (and its subfolders). High Impact eMail Stationery
templates are unlike the other templates in that they are dual-purpose: they can be used
a) to send individual e-mails and b) as
stationery in Outlook or Outlook Express.
If you are using Outlook, the dialog box below informs you that the selected
template will be available for use as Outlook stationery. Check the check box
if you want to make it your default stationery, then click OK.

If you are using Outlook Express, you will see the dialog box below.
For best results, you should disable the signature
feature of Outlook or Outlook Express, as it will probably conflict with the
stationery template.
Note: It is possible to select multiple templates to
be added to stationery. If you have selected multiple templates and check the
"Make this the default" check box, High Impact eMail will designate the last selected template as the default stationery.
If you have not yet specified logo, portrait,
and signature image files, then you will probably see one or more
AutoComplete dialogs like the one below, depending on the template
you selected.
If you want to use a template that references one or more
of these images, it is important to have prepared the images and uploaded them
to the web before trying to add a High Impact eMail template to Outlook
or Outlook Express's stationery.
When you add a template to Microsoft Outlook or Outlook
Express, the program copies the template with the current Business
Card details to the stationery folder. If you later change your Business
Card Information, these changes will not be reflected in the templates that have
already been added to Outlook or Outlook Express's stationery folder. To
incorporate your recent Business Card Information these templates will have to
be re-added to the Stationery folder.
Once you have added a template to Outlook or Outlook
Express's stationery, you can select it as follows:
Selecting Stationery from within Outlook
Click Actions | New Mail Message Using... and select stationery with which to send
e-mail.
Selecting Stationery from within Outlook Express
Click Message | New Message Using and select the stationery with which to send
e-mail.
