Outlook 2013 AutoFill Fields - Any Options
I am looking for a way to have some "data fields" automatically filled in when writing an email.
Example:
From: smith_sue
Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 3:35 PM
To: jones_bob
Subject: Test Message
<<To:>>
This is a test message sent to you from <<From:>>
You will need to respond two business days from <<Sent:>>
This is just an example of what I would like to be able to do.

Filled in how? For example, what would <<To:>> be filled in with?

I am sorry I should have been a little more clearer.
I would like <<To:>> to be the name in the To: box, <<From:>> to be filled in from the From: box. As in many MS Office products there system fields that I would like to take advantage of to prefill as many spaces as possible.

What you're describing is a mail merge. Will you be sending the same message to a group of recipients, or do you want to do this for every message you send?

I have an email template that I send to a single person.
In the email there are some places where I put some information from the computer.
An examples is there is a sentence that says;
"<<employee name?>> I have not received a time and attendance entery for today (<<todays date>>)."
I have to type the employees name, yet this is the name of the receipant or the name in the To: field. I also have to type in the date, when it seems the system knows what the date is.
Thank you for any kind of help that can be provided.
