1. Open Outlook and create a new email message.
2. Click the File tab.
3. Choose Save as.
4. Choose Outlook Template from the dropdown and name the file.
5. Click Save.
Now you’ll have the message saved for future use. To learn how to use your canned responses, read on.
6. Click New Items > More Items > Choose Form.
7. Select "User Templates in File System" from the the dropdown.
8. Find your file and click Open.
