ACT! Tools is a collection of Word for Windows macros that
provides easy access to your contact information in ACT! while
using Microsoft Word for Windows. With ACT! Tools, you can:
- View and edit information on any ACT! contact.
- Search for an ACT! contact based on any of the
primary ACT! fields or on a predefined query.
- Add a new ACT! contact from within Word.
- Instantly paste the contact address into the
current document.
- Create a document with links to the current ACT!
contact by simply pointing and clicking.
- Create a letter addressed to the current ACT!
contact with the letter information automatically
stored in your ACT! contact history.
- Automatically print a series of form letters for
every contact in the current ACT! group. If
desired, each form letter is automatically logged
in each contact's history.
- Print an envelope addressed to the current ACT!
contact with a single click.
ACT! Tools requires Symantec ACT! 2.0, Microsoft Word for
Windows 6.0, Microsoft Windows 3.1, and enough hardware to
run everything at the same time.

be copied to your Windows directory (normally

availablity. Some people are even registering the program.
1. The ability to specify the ACT! field for recording letter information
now works. Note, however, that what the ACT documentation says is not
correct. Use the following field names.

2. When using ACT in Word, the macro prompts you if you are starting to
abandon changed fields without saving.
3. The inclusion of the subject in the letter is now optional, selected
with a check box in the Subject dialog.
4. Problems associated with having a blank Company field in ACT! have been
eliminated.
