You can dress up your Outlook Express 6 communication by adding the look of stationery. A touch of color and some graphics can do wonders for visually boring e-mail. To use the Outlook Express stationery feature, just follow these steps:

1. In the Outlook Express main window, click the arrow on the Create button.

2. Select a stationery option listed in the menu that appears, or choose the Select Stationery command to get more choices.

3. In the Select Stationery dialog box that appears, select a stationery from the list.

4. Click OK to apply the stationery to the new message.

5. With a new, reply, or forwarded message open, you can apply stationery by using either of these methods:

Choose Format-->Apply Stationery, and then click a stationery to apply.

Choose More Stationery to access the Select Stationery dialog box.

If you have applied stationery and decide that you don't want to use it anymore, just click the arrow on the Create button and select No Stationery from the drop-down menu.
