Stationery for emails:

If you often send a particular type of e-mail (like a newsletter, a weekly status report, or response to a certain type of request, etc), you can use stationery to save that information and re-use it whenever you need it. You can use it to save e-mails that are just text, or for things like newsletters, you can add graphics, backgrounds, and formatting to make it look like a newsletter.

Here's how to make stationery:
1. From Mail, click the plus sign (+) next to Tools, and then click Stationery.

2. Click New Stationery and then click Message.

3. Add the text, formatting, graphics and background you want, and then save it!
• To change text color or style, or add links and attachments, use the buttons in the toolbar

• To add graphics, click Create > Picture.

• To add a background, right-click, select Text Properties, and then click the arrow next to Text and select Document


Then select the Background tab (it looks like a picture of a gradient)

From there, you can pick a background color or paste or import a graphic.

For example, below is a sample Stationery, that is used as a table to create the form and included a greeting and instructions:





After you make stationery, here's how to use it:

1. When you want to create an e-mail from stationery, click More > New Message with Stationery


2. Then make any changes you need to the e-mail (like changing dates or recipients' names), and then send it!
