How can I create a recurring newsletter reminder?

One way to automate your newsletter is to set a recurring reminder to send your newsletter with Outlook's calendar feature. This won't automatically send your email, but it will remind you it's time to send it out. 1. Click the calendar icon near the bottom-left corner of Outlook. 2. Click on Appointment near the top-left corner. 3. Fill out the appointment window, including a title, the first start date, and time. 4. Click Recurrence. 5. In the task recurrence window, select how often you want a reminder (daily, weekly, or monthly), and set when the event should repeat and its end date. Click OK when you're done. 6. Click the Save icon and close the window. Learn more

How do I format an Outlook email to look like a newsletter?

You can design your own newsletter template in Outlook, or you can upload templates ending in .emltpl for Mac or .oft for Windows into Outlook for desktop. Use a third-party template app of your choice to design your newsletter template. Save your template file in the same folder you keep the rest of your templates. To open, click File > New > Email From Template. This will show all your email templates. Select the HTML file you uploaded, and click Open. Learn more

Does Microsoft have a newsletter template?

Yes, Microsoft Word has a few pre-made newsletter template options that you can customize. But since these are staged in Microsoft Word, you can't intuitively import them to Outlook and edit them there. If you want to edit a template in Outlook, download templates with the .emltpl extension (for Mac) or the .oft extension (for Windows) from a third party that offers templates in these formats.
