Forms in Microsoft Outlook are stored in the OFT format. There are several standard forms available in Outlook, which are used to format email, store contacts and create appointments. You can also create your own custom forms using the forms tools. Modify the standard forms or create completely new forms to allow your customers, for example, to order parts and supplies, or answer surveys.
