Hi Jasro.  Thanks for your reply.  I have tried that, have also tried various test templates, and nothing works.

When I email a paystub, the email message simply says:  "Dear Mr. _____, Please find your pay stubs attached. Thank you for your business. We appreciate it very much. Sincerely, company name and web address."  And this isn't even the Basic Paystub (provided by QB and that cannot be edited).  I can't find any template that shows the text that I quoted.  Previous paystub emails contained the password information required to open the attached paystubs.  Not sure when this problem began. I email all staff except for myself.  I always just print mine, so did not notice this until staff began asking me for the passwords.

Allow me to help you further and get this sorted out, @Jane5919.

When creating the customized template, let's make sure that you set them up as default. This way, you can use the text you quoted for that specific template. You can also use or create a customized email template when sending messages/forms from QuickBooks. Here's how: Create custom email templates in QuickBooks Desktop.

Also, verifying and rebuilding your data is a good start when it comes to fixing data-related issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

To Verify Data:

1. Click Window at the top menu bar, then Close All.
2. From the File menu, choose Utilities.
3. Tap Verify Data.

To Rebuild Data:

1. Click Window at the top menu bar, then Close All.
2. From the File menu, choose Utilities.
3. Hit Rebuild Data.
4. You will receive a warning message to backup your company file, press OK.
5. Click OK when you get the message "Rebuild has completed".

Once done, go back and send a sample pay stub to your email. If the problem persists, repairing QuickBooks Desktop will help fix the issue. Here's how:

1. Restart your computer. This makes sure there are no programs that may affect the repair.
2. Open the Windows Start menu, search and open Control Panel.
3. Select Programs and choose Program and Features from there.
4. Choose QuickBooks from the list of Programs, then Uninstall/Change.
5. Click Continue or Next.
6. Hit Repair, then Next. The repair should start right away, but it may take a while to finish. You can leave it running, and come back once it's done.
7. Once it's done, select Finish. You may have to restart your computer to complete the repair.
8. Update your QuickBooks to the latest release. This makes sure you have the most recent fixes and security updates
