Now, instead of drafting these messages again and again, the best is to convert MSG to OFT. The OFT templates allow personalisation without modifying the core content. This article covers several ways to convert MSG files to OFT template files. Also, it includes an easy method using the <strong>Cigati <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/msg-converter-tool\/\">MSG Converter<\/a><\/strong>.

Take a look at the different scenarios where this conversion is necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>OFT format allows users to reuse the email template multiple times. Therefore, convert your MSG files to an OFT template.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By converting MSG to OFT, users can save their time by only updating details and not the entire email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teams convert MSG files to an OFT format to standardise messages to maintain professional communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old and archived MSG messages can be repurposed by converting them into OFT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Batch communication is easier with OFT templates, so MSG\u2019s are converted into OFT format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Methods_to_Convert_MSG_to_OFT_Format\"><\/span>Simple Methods to Convert MSG to OFT Format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve understood the reasons for the MSG to OFT template conversion, let\u2019s move ahead. Here, in this section, we will execute the methods to carry out this conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Method_Export_MSG_to_Outlook_Template\"><\/span>Manual Method: Export MSG to Outlook Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a quick and straightforward method to save the MSG files as an OFT Outlook template. Also, it is suitable for those who need to save only a few email messages as OFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the following steps to initiate the export process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, locate your <strong>MSG<\/strong> file and <strong>double-click<\/strong> on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once it gets opened up, click on <strong>File<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Save As.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, choose <strong>Outlook Template (.oft)<\/strong> from the <strong>Save as type<\/strong> dropdown list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, select a location to save the file and hit the <strong>Save<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> This process is not applicable for bulk conversions. Therefore, converting thousands of MSG files into OFT becomes unreliable and inefficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Method_Easily_Bulk_Convert_MSG_to_OFT_File_Template\"><\/span>Professional Method: Easily Bulk Convert MSG to OFT File Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manually handling a bulk MSG to OFT file conversion is time-consuming and inefficient. Hence, for bulk conversions, it demands a professional tool. The <strong>Cigati MSG Converter<\/strong> solves this issue by automatically converting multiple MSG files into OFT. During the process, it ensures that no data is lost and the original folder structure remains intact. Besides basic conversion, it offers various filters like multi-format export options, eliminates duplicates, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simplified steps to convert multiple MSG files to OFT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download and install the tool on your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the tool and select from: <strong>Single File\/Multiple Files<\/strong> or <strong>Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, pick <strong>Select File<\/strong> and browse the MSG file.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once uploaded, select the files\/folder and <strong>preview<\/strong> them. Click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, designate <strong>OFT<\/strong> as the saving <strong>File Format<\/strong> from the options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure the additional features if you wish to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, define the destination path and hit<strong> Convert<\/strong> to start the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The MSG to OFT conversion is usually done by professionals to save time and effort while sending repeated messages.
