"How to Make Top Scrolling Stationery Using Outlook Express"
I would print this for ready reference
For this Tutorial you will need some sort of program so you can
get the correct size of an Image you want to use.
If you don't know the CORRECT SIZE, you will have a jumpy scroll.
If you don't have a program, then go to this URL
and download 20/20. This should be FREE and is real easy to use.
Go here to learn the Basic's of 20/20
Go here to download. Save it to your Desktop.
When download is complete, hit Open for the installation to begin.
Here is another one that is free
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Save your Images and Midi's that you want to
use, in your Stationery Folder.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery
It will make things work proper
OH BY THE WAY!!!!
For the people that only think this is a Top scroll, the whole stationery scrolls.
With a solid color background, how can you see if the background scrolls. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now let's get started!
In Outlook Express go up to Message/New Message Using/Select Stationery.
Pick out one of my Top Scrolling one's that you have downloaded
If you haven't done so already, then grab one from any of my
pages.
In fact, here is the Exe and Zip Files for the below stationery
so you will have the same script as this to use
Click on above to download
After you select the stationery, you will see this below.
In this case I am using this on
Notice at the bottom where the little arrow is.
You should have 3 tabs there.
If you don't, then go up to the top where it say's VIEW.
Click on View, then click on Source Edit.
You will only have to do this one time.
Anyway click on the Source Tab and you will see this below
This is the script that you will be changing
REMEMBER!!
EVERYTHING has to be EXACT!
Even a period out of place will mess you up.
Below in RED is what you will be changing

Think you can do this?
After you have changed everything, click on the Preview Tab
to see what you have done. Hoping that everything is fine.
If it is, then click on the EDIT Tab.
NOW!
Go up to File/Save As
In the Name box, type in
Name of Stationery
of course you won't put that name in. haha
Save it to the folder of your choice.
Such as My Stationery Folder.

When you want to use it, just open up that folder an click on the
