If you are using Microsoft Exchange for your email, and also have Microsoft
Word 95, you can use a new feature called WordMail.
WordMail allows you to replace the default editor in Exchange with
Microsoft Word. All the features from Word then become available when you
are writing or even reading your email!
Advantages of WordMail:
* Can use all of Word's editing features and options
* Can use AutoText in Word to set up a Signature File for your email!
* Spell-checking is available!
Disadvantages of WordMail:
* Takes slightly longer to load Word vs. the default Exchange editor.
Installing WordMail
WordMail is easy to install. First, make sure you have Exchange installed
and working.
After that, run the Word 95 (or Office 95) install program. Navigate to the
Word 95 install options, and click the checkbox for WordMail.
WordMail will then be installed, and automatically set up as the editor
when you use Exchange. If you find you don't like it for some reason, you
can shut it off simply by selecting Compose/WordMail Options within
Exchange, and un-checking the "Enable Word as Email Editor" checkbox.
Here's what a reply to an email looks like using WordMail. Note the Rich
Text Format of the email (the fonts, shading and colors), and the Word
toolbar buttons: |
