Add templates to QA toolbar/Ribbon in 2019?

[Gasman]

I have just upgraded from Office 2007 to 2019, and starting to regret it to be honest. http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
In my Outlook on 2007 I had a Templates entry and my frequent templates below that. ALso had a menu for various macros that I used frequently.

I have been unable to find how to do that in 2019?
I found this link https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/2655 but all that does is put the Choose Form icon in Outlook, I still have to go and get it from the folder?

In 2007 this was all done via a hyperlink?? Whilst I can add a new mail under a new group, no option to link to a template as there is in 2007.

So, is there a way to replicate the method in 2007 in 2019 please?

Not having much luck with this.

I think if you put the template in

C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\*.oft


then you can pick one like this

I've never really used this feature, so you may need to experiment a little

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I am aware I can do it that way, even put a Choose Form option on the ribbon, but that is way more effort than I need to do in 2007?

Attached is what I have had for years with 2007? I could create the outcmd.dat and give that to you to make your life easier, not any more it appears.
One button has a list of templates I use so frequently, and easy to add more, same with the Macros button.
So much so, I have gone back to Outlook 2007.

I initially upgraded just beacuse of Access, as 2007 would not open later DBs from later versions.
I have just upgraded one PC of mine to Win11, and then find that you cannot move the taskbar. Going backwards there as well. :devil2::devil2::devil2:

So something that was so easy to implement, seems impossible now? So much for progress. :devil2:
