There are several ways you can access your templates from within Outlook without going through the Tools, Forms menu and browsing for the template.

1. Drag the file (or a shortcut) to the Shortcut bar or Outlook bar. (In Outlook 2003 you'll need to drop the file or shortcut on the Group name.)
2. Create a hyperlink on a toolbar button.
3. Publish the form to a folder and load it using the Actions menu when in the folder
4. Copy the template to any mail folder and open it from the folder
