Your Macros . . .

will never be the same with your CyberSecretary!  CyberSecretary for Microsoft Outlook 2000 is built using the CyberSecretary Object Library, an ActiveX component which can be used in any Word, Excel or other macro written using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications.  The CyberSecretary Object Library offers the following features:

• A common user interface using the Virtual Office Assistant!

• A library of over 45 sound and speech clips, over 150 icons, and various facial expressions both male and female!

• An easy to use, flexible dialog box that includes messages for the user, text input by the user, buttons, a drop-down list box – even a progress indicator!

• The ability to access many Windows functions (reading/writing the Registry and .INI files, opening and printing document files, accessing common dialog boxes, even accessing files via the Internet!

Adding CyberSecretary to your VBA macros is a simple process:

1. If desired, record keystrokes and mouse clicks using the macro recorder in the desired application.
2. Open the macro in the Visual Basic editor by pressing Alt-F11.
3. Use the DIM keyword to create an object variable which will refer to your CyberSecretary.
4. Use the CreateObject function (or the SET function with the NEW keyword) to create the CyberSecretary.
5. Set your CyberSecretary's properties (to specify screen position, a caption, message, icon, sound effect, and facial expression, to specify whether the dialog will include a space for user input or a drop-down list, and to specify which buttons will appear).
6. Use the SHOW method to display the dialog.
7. Read your CyberSecretary's properties (e.g. which button was pushed, what text was entered, what was selected from the list) and process accordingly.
