good pm, i have d/loaded some lovely e-mail stationary, eight files in each zip file, i opened the package, can some one make the following instructions easy for me, i saved the files to c as she suggested but they are not looking right in the mail i am doing something wrong, thanks for any help. i don't see any .exe not on my desk top do i save it to desk top ???

All stationery includes a font. Either in a .exe or

it may be a embedded font. To install double click the .exe
that will be on your desktop after the stationery is installed.
The font will be added immediately to your fonts cache.
If the stationery includes a embedded font.
Then you will not need to worry about a font.

This stationery is in .exe format. Simply double click the file to
extract all files to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Stationery\Desktop Decorator folder.

so far so good i did this..i'v seen the files she mentions,



Now in Outlook Express click on Message<New Message Using,

this is where i'm stuck

and browse to your new stationery.
(Be sure to apply the stationery this way - using the New Mail button,
and Format<Apply Stationery will not allow you to have the scrolling
background, sound or preset margins and font colors.)

Click okay to select your stationery, and your message window will
open. Type in your text, and send! (The scrolling will not be visible
at this point, but you can view it in your Outbox or Sent folder, or by
enabling your Edit/Source/Preview tab. To enable this tab, click
View<Source Edit. Now there will be three tabs at the bottom of your
message window.

when i click edit it send me to f/page ?????? if i try to install in out look i only get tile/corner/right or left not like she wants them to be. and this is real nice stationary too.




:confused: to say the least

did you get the stationary from a website, how bout giving me the link so I can try one and see what is happening

the stationay files have to be in the directory

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery

(not C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery\Desktop Decorator Folder)

then when you're in your OutLook Express & you click that button to pick stationary, they will show up

until you put the files in the right directory.... they won't work

Yes she is right.The installer for that staionary doesnt put it in the right spot, I had to put it in manually. Try this

1--right click on an empty area of the desktop and select "new" then "folder"

2--double click on the zipped stationary and click "browse" next to the "unzip to folder" and find the new folder you just created on your desktop and then click "unzip"

Now here is where it can get tricky

3--Go to the new folder that you just unzipped the stationary to.Double click all the folders till you get to the end and then go to the "edit" menu at the top and "select all" then edit again "copy.

4--Double click the "my computer icon" then double click the "c" icon for your hard drive.Double click "program files" then double click "common files" and then double click "microsoft shared" then double click "stationary"

5--Go to the edit menu at the top and select paste

I found if I let it install it like the istructions on the site said the stationary wasnt where it should be.

ah thanks brom so i would never have done it alone, many thanks i'll let you know in the am how i did, i tried to send a mail to jmd so he could redirect what was in the mail to you but it was returned undeliverable, when i looked in your cp mem area for yours it just says e-mail admin but not an addy, i was just going to show you how it ended up in mine.
