I use Out of Office Assistant a lot, but don't use the same message each
time. Mostly, I advise senders to contact one or more of my colleagues if they can't get me, but for varfious reasons it's not always the same colleagues. I get really frustrated because I have to type in all of these e-mail addresses, over and over again. What I would really like is an option to paste the message (cut perhaps from a list of options, prepared that I keep elsewhere) or better still to have a list of options within Out of Office Assistant - a bit like e-mail signatures. Maybe these options already exist and I can't see them? Maybe I'm just being too kind to my senders by spoonfeeding them this info? I do use rules to add a further message to specific senders, e.g. my chums when I'm on holiday - detailing just what marvellous fun I'm up to in some fab place, just to make them jealous! But obviously this can't work for general responses. Suggestions, anyone? |

Errr . . . no! Copy and Paste is not an option in the message box. That’s
why I'm posing my enquiry. "F.H. Muffman" wrote: I use Out of Office Assistant a lot, but don't use the same message each time.

Oh, wow! It works! Sorry, I am such an icon fan I always forget about
keystrokes. This is fab and will be such a benefit to me. Thank you, FH Muffman, for taking the time to answer. "F.H.

Hi Annie1904,
Although this is not related to the current thread, I have been looking through the discussion group, and noticed back in August 2005, you posted a comment "Currently I save e-mails as word files in a shared folder at work." This is something I have been wanting to do for a loong time, but never been able to figure out how to. I am using Microsoft Office 2007 Small Business Edition with Outlook 2007, and would like if you'd be able to tell me how to save an Outlook message as a Word document. Thanking you in anticipation, Kind regards "Annie1904" wrote: I use Out of Office Assistant a lot, but don't use the same message each time.
