Using the EXE files provided
Changed to REAL automation!
- Click on the name under the thumbnail picture to download
the exe file.
- Double left click on the .exe file - a box will come up
with my site info... Click 'Unzip' The stationery has
now installed itself to the correct location on your
computer.
- Open OE, then click on the little downward pointing arrow between the Create Mail and Reply buttons.
- Click on Select Stationery
- Find the stationery you've just installed. Click on it, then click on
OK - A new email window will open with the stationery as the background.
If you're using a MAC, the stationery won't work as MAC's don't support
it.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL EXE FILES HAVE BEEN CHECKED WITH AN
EXCELLENT ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAMME, but it's always sensible to
check them with your own antivirus software BEFORE installing.

Using my stationery in
Outlook 2000
I don't use Outlook 2000 but thanks to one of
my visitors, here's how to make the stationery show up in Outlook
2000 Follow the instructions for downloading and saving
stationery from Zips. (see above)
-
Open Outlook 2000
-
click on Tools/Options/Mail
Format/Stationery/New/
-
Click on name of the stationery you just saved
to the stationery folder,
-
Click OK to everything then click Apply.
The stationery should now be ready for use.
Because I use the block method in html, the margins, text, font
colour everything, should be saved intact
My thanks to Cort Gray for the following
instructions:

AOL 4.0
With AOL 4.0, you can insert backgrounds and
images in your emails. All you need to do is right-click on the
images and save them to your computer. Then when you compose your
email, click on the camera, choose background picture and find the
image.
Compatibility With
OE4 and OE5:
Every piece works with OE4 and OE5. None
of my stationery Scrolls or plays music. I find both
extremely distracting and annoying, besides, this stuff is to
write on, not watch or listen to - how does one print out music
and scrolls? Dunno. I have NO intention of adding midi
files or scrolling to my stationery - but if you're really
determined to make it sing and dance at you, you can add scripts
to make it do just that. I don't supply the scripts you
need, and I'm unlikely to tell you where in the html they should
go... mean or what? Nah, I'd just rather my 'efforts'
were left non-singing and non-dancing.
