SUMMARY
This article describes how to change the default stationery for your e-mail messages when Microsoft Word is your default e-mail editor. When you use the More Stationery menu item to select a different stationery, the default is not changed.



MORE INFORMATION
When you open a new mail message for the first time after setting Word as your e-mail editor, you will get the following message in the Office Assistant:

No thanks.

Changing the stationery by choosing a different stationery from the More Stationery menu will not set the new stationery as the default. To change the default stationery use the following steps:


 * 1) With Word set as your default e-mail editor, open a new e-mail message.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 3) On the General tab, click E-mail options.
 * 4) On the Personal Stationery tab, click Theme.
 * 5) Click to select the new stationery, and then click OK, OK, and OK to close the windows.
 * 6) Close the open e-mail message.

E-mail messages will now use the new theme.
