Using Macros to Generate "canned" email responses
by JB » Sun, 02 Nov 2003 07:02:12 GMT
I have only used macros in Word where clicks and strokes
are recorded in the macro.
Outlook apparantly relies on Visual Basic for its macros
and I have nevcer used VB.
I want to create a macro that will generate a reply email
with a pre-written message body. Any place I can go that
might show me how to do this?
Thank you!

Do you want this response to be automated or do you simply wish to be able
to manually generate the response?
If you want an automated solution then you can set up a RULE to achieve this
task.
- The rule is triggered by what ever it is that determines which message is
to be autoreplied to... for instance the INCOMING email address... the
sender... something in the subject or body etc.
- You set the rule to REPLY using a message you have saved to your computer.
- The message you want to go out to the customer should be a message you
write and save as a template (*.oft file). Be sure to set the subject, body,
Account to use etc etc before saving the template.
This works for me.
The other option... (the Manual one)
If you simply want to be able to HIT reply on a message and then include
predefined text in the reply:
- Set up a SIGNITURE with all the text you want in the body... this can be
HTML formated or plain text...as you wish
- Then when a message comes in that you wish to reply to with this text just
hit REPLY and then insert the signiture and hit send.

Is there a way to have a set of pre done responses so I don't have to

2.Generating automatic HTML email response to incoming emails in a standard format
Please could you point a beginner in the direction of code examples and
manual for Outlook 2003 where I might find information to fufil the following
spec:
Create an automated way to create an email, that extracts a customers name
from the body of incoming mail.
Use their surname to search a database to find if they have any matches to
their name, if so put into the email some of the images associated with that
name.
Often regualr questions are asked that pre-written responses can answer, the
user of Outlook should be able to select these responses from a list, thread
them together and email the response.
At all times the email should be personalised.
Any help or shove in the right direction to solve these problems for myself
would be greatly appreciated

3.canned emails for business
I am trying to make a file with standard responses for common email questions
so my employees can just copy and paste the answers. the problem is with
word, there are too many of them and you will have to scroll down through too
many emails. with excel when you paste the answer, it screws up the layout
sometimes and is hard to add a few words to customize the email. any
suggestions?

5.Canned Email Disclaimer for Outlook 2002
Hi-
What I would like to do is add a canned disclaimer at the end of all of my
users' email. I looked through the Outlook GPO template included with the ORK
tool kit and there doesn't seem to be anything there that would help me.
Can I do something like this via Group Policy or do I have to go to each
individual workstation and do it manually?
Thanks
