Hi,

I'm trying to create an e-mail template for the first time for my new business. It's pretty basic -- a white box over a grey background, with a header at the top of the box with my logo. I created it using Outlook shapes, and the logo is an image.

My current issue is that I need to manually adjust the white box for each e-mail depending how long the text of the e-mail is. How can I have it automatically adjust? Am I making the template incorrectly?

Secondly, how can I use the template without having to go through the many steps for each e-mail: Home, New Items, More Items, Choose Form, Look In (folder), and then Open. I imagine there must be a shorter way? Also, is there a way to have it so that the template is used by default when creating a new message?

Thanks so much!
