SUMMARY
This article describes how you can change the default look of Word e-mail messages when using Microsoft Word as your Microsoft Outlook e-mail editor.



MORE INFORMATION
Word includes several themes, such as Sandstone, Artsy, or Blueprint, that you can use when Word is your Outlook e-mail editor. Themes are installed the first time you use them.

Follow these steps to change the default appearance of e-mail messages you create within Outlook when using Word as your e-mail editor:


 * 1) In Outlook, start a new message using Word as your e-mail editor.
 * 2) In the new message, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
 * 3) Click E-mail Options.
 * 4) Click the Personal Stationery tab, and then click Theme.
 * 5) Under Choose a Theme, click the name of a theme, and any other options you want, such as font definitions. If the Theme is not installed, you will receive a prompt to install it.
 * 6) After you have made your selections, click OK and OK to exit all dialog boxes. You will not see your changes in the current untitled message.
 * 7) Close your untitled message without saving and create a new message to see your changes.
