How to Cre­ate Email Tem­plates in Microsoft Outlook

September 16, 2021

One of the best ways to save time on repetitive tasks is to create templates. Templates help provide structure or form for any content. For example, in Microsoft Outlook, users can create email templates instead of creating new emails from scratch every time.

These email templates are very useful when outgoing emails have the same content or similar structure. To Cre­ate Email Tem­plates in Microsoft Outlook, users can use the “Quick Parts” feature or the “My Templates” plugin. This is how it works:

Note: Microsoft introduced Quick Parts in Outlook 2007 to replace the AutoText that existed in previous versions.

Step 1: Launch Microsoft Outlook on your computer.

Step 6: Within the dialog box, fill in the relevant details for the fields below:

  • Name: This is a unique identifier for each entry. Quick Parts lists names in alphabetical order. You will find this very useful when you have multiple entries.
  • Gallery: Outlook can help you save the content of quick parts in a specific library. This is very useful when you save a large number of templates.
  • Category: Unless you need additional grouping of templates, you should stick to “General”. Categories are like subfolders, belonging to galleries.
  • Description: This comment helps to describe each entry or template. You will never see this attribute, so you don’t have to worry about it.
  • Save In: To ensure that the content can be used in Outlook emails, please use NormalEmail.dotm. You can also isolate your entries based on templates.
  • Options: Using this attribute, you can determine how to insert a single entry.
