Create an Outlook form

All custom forms must be based on existing Microsoft Outlook forms. If you do not wish to use the default form functionality provided by Outlook, you can hide all of the default form pages and use only the extra blank pages to create a complete custom form.

To begin designing an Outlook form:

1. Open an Outlook item by doing one of the following:
   • To open a mail message, click the New Mail Message icon.
   • Click the arrow beside the New Mail Message icon, and then click Mail Message.
   • On the File menu, click New, and then click Mail Message.
   • On the Actions menu, click New Mail Message.
   • Double-click anywhere in an empty area of the Inbox view pane.
2. When you have the new form opened, on the Tools menu of the form, click Forms, and then click Design This Form. You may also click Design Form, and then select to design a different form.
3. Add the fields, controls, and code that you want to your new form.
