I enhanced a Tip, submitted by Suzanne Kleinberg, to create a Smart Icon that
Creates a new memo and adds my business card information, Name, Phone # and
mail code, or ( whatever) to the bottom of the standard memo form as it is
being created. I replaced the standard "Create New Memo" Smart Icon with it,
now every new memo already has that information embedded at the bottom of the
body. I am distributing these instrcutions to all my users in the hope that
their future help requests sent to me will include their Phone numbers.
Code
This easy, 5 minute procedure creates a new Smart Icon that Creates a NEW memo
with your
"Business card" information, your name, title, mail code and phone number, to
the bottom of the
body of your New emails at the click of the mouse. If you are currently using
the standard "Create
New Memo" Smart Icon, you can replace it with this new one.
To use this Icon, simply click the Smart Icon that you create and a new memo
will be brought up
with your business card info already imbedded in the body. Just type your memo
above the line
and the business card will be pushed downward.
To create the the Smart Icon just follow these simple instructions:
Before beginning this process, highlight the section of code in blue below and
hold down Ctrl and hit the "c" key
1. Go to File, Tools, SmartIcons
2. Go to the bottom of the Available SmartIcons toolbox (on the
eft Side) and select one of the Macro
Buttons. Pick one that easy to spot, the Brighter the
better
3. Drag the Macro Button into the right side other toolbox into
the order you want it to appear
4. With the Macro Button selected, click on Edit Icon button.
5. Give it a description, like "Create New Memo" and click
Formula button.
6. Paste the following formula into the window and change the
information so it
appears with your user-specific information. You can delete
whole lines of data and type in
between the " " whatever info you want to appear in you business
card section. (see sample below)
7. Select OK, Done, and OK.
Here's the code: Edit the part that is shown here in red.
Delete any of the Red lines that you don't want displayed.
@Command([MailComposeMemo]);
@Command([V3EditNextField]);
@Command([V3EditNextField]);
@Command([V3EditNextField]);
@Command([V3EditNextField]);
BusinessCard:=@NewLine + "____________________" +
@NewLine + "Your Name" +
@NewLine + "Your Position" +
@NewLine + "Your Company" +
@NewLine + "Mail Code" +
@NewLine + "Phone: (000) 000-0000" +
@NewLine + "Fax: (000) 000-0000" +
@NewLine + " " ;
@Command([EditInsertText]; BusinessCard);
@Command([V3EditPrevField]);
@Command([V3EditPrevField]);
@Command([V3EditPrevField]);
@Command([V3EditPrevField])
Here's what it looks like:
___________________
Your Name
Your Position
Your Company
Your mail code
Phone: (000) 000-0000
Fax: (000) 000-0000
This Smart Icon replaces the standard one that creates a new memo and will add
the business card info
to the memo before you type anything. The business Card data is editable if
you want to change it for
that particular memo. If you want to change the content of the Business card
you just edit the Smart Icon
as described above.
