Add and apply stationery for all email messages

This section is about how to add or apply stationery for all email messages, including all new email messages, replying messages, and formatting messages.

Step 1: Open the Outlook Options dialog box:

  1. In Outlook 2010 / 2013, click the "File" > "Options";
  2. In Outlook 2007, click the "Tools" > "Options".

Step 2: Click the "Stationery and Fonts" button.

  1. In Outlook 2010 / 2013, click the "Mail" button in the left bar, and the "Stationery and Fonts" button stays in the "Compose messages" section.

Note: In the "Theme or stationery for new HTML e-mail message" section, if you select a theme, and select the "Use theme’s font" in the font box, the "Font" button in New mail message section is gray and invalid. So does the Font button in the Replying and forwarding messages section.

Step 4: Click "OK" button.

After you finish the setting, the selected stationery will be added and applied to all new email messages, replying messages, and forwarding messages.


Add and apply stationery for one email message

Occasionally, you may want to apply stationery for just one special message. And you can do it as following:

First of all, make sure the main outlook interface is in the Mail view. It will shift to the mail view by clicking the "Mail" button in the Navigation pane.

Step 1: Click the "Home" > "New Items" > "E-mail Message Using" > "More Stationery" in Outlook 2010 / 2013.
