ACT-To-Outlook 2003 Email comes with a default web site navigation tool. You can either send a local file or a web site page as an email. The browser is the same as a regular Web Browser with one exception: it analyzes the web page for any data that can be used by the user to modify the web page i.e. ACT! Fields as well as user modifiable fields.
To navigate the Net, simply enter the web address on the HTML Address box and press the Return key to go to that site. Once the return key is pressed, the ACT-To-Outlook 2003 Email Web Browser displays the web page and does 2 things:
| 1. | The ACT! Fields that are displayed on the web page are reserved to be replaced when the email is generated.
|
| 2. | The user defined fields (any field that is not an ACT! field) are identified and displayed in the Variables List, including Subject, CC, and BCC.
|
The Navigation Toolbar works like a standard web browser toolbar with forward, back, refresh, home, and stop buttons. Two additional options are available on the toolbar:
| Open File – Open a local file on the hard drive. This file can be a text file or an html file.
|
| Open Current File in Viewer – This button opens whatever file you have on your default viewer. If it is a text file, it opens the file using the notebook otherwise it opens the current address with an html viewer. Most viewers allow you to edit the file using File ->Edit with …. option on the Web viewer.

The ACT-To-Outlook 2003 Email provides a viewer that allows you surf the Net or your hard drive for a web page that you want to use as the basis of your email. Once you find the web page you want, you can then send it as an email or save it as part of a local template.
The Retrieval Status box (green or red) informs you whether you can (green) or cannot (red) send the web page being viewed as email. Redirected web pages cannot be sent as email. Make sure that the first line on the HTML file being retrieved starts with <HTML
