FREE ACT! Add-ON Download Now
New version 1.7.5 (11/21/2003)
DESCRIPTION
ACTExplorer is an FREE ACT ADD-On which places a special version of Internet
Explorer on a tab (ACTEx) within ACT which allows you to more closely link
specific web pages to each contact and also quickly attach entire pages (or
parts of it) to the contact
OPERATION
After installing ACTExplorer, restart ACT. You should see a new Tab in the
Contact View called "ACTEx". Although it is similar (in concept) to
the Profile Tab already provided with ACT, it presents a more generic and
therefore more flexible internet tool and also adds several other key features
explained below.
When you click on the ACTEx Tab, you will see the very familiar user interface of Internet explorer.
Attach the whole web page
In addition to the normal features of IE, ACTEx also lets you quickly attach the
currently displayed web page to the current contact. A "Save Web Page
as..." dialog is presented so that you can specify where and by what name
the Web Page (*.htm) or Web Archive (*.mht) is stored and attached.
This feature compliments another great Add-On, ShellACT available at http://www.photoact.net/shellact
Attach individual images
By right-clicking on a picture in the current web page, you can elect to either
attach the picture to the contact or save it to disk.
This feature compliments another great Add-On, PhotoACT available at http://www.photoact.net which displays one or more pictures with each contact directly within ACT!
Automatically Navigate to Contact's Web Site.
By default, ACTEx automatically navigates to the current contact's Web site (if
specified). You can disable this features via the ACTEx Options button. ![]()
Automatically use Contact's Email Address
By default, ACTEx automatically inserts the current contact's email address (if
specified) when sending the web page as a link. You can disable this features
via the ACTEx Options button.
