Did you know you can set up an Out of Office message on your Microsoft Office Outlook email even if you're not on a Microsoft Exchange server? Here's how:
1. Make sure you're using the Outlook email editor, not Word, by checking Tools>Options>Mail Format tab on Message format. The 'Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit email messages' box should not be checked.
2. From the File menu>New>Mail Message: then in the message window, under Format, choose Plain Text and respond 'Yes' when prompted about formatting being lost.
3. Type your Out of Office message; then Save As>Outlook Template.
4. Choose a name for the message and Save.
Then combine this message template with a new Rule reply using a specific template to auto-reply to your email messages.
