Mail integration support with Microsoft applications (R5.0.1)
Notes R5 registers itself as an available default mail application for Microsoft Windows. This allows Notes R5 mail messaging to be integrated within products such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer, so that Notes is launched as the mail client from these types of applications.
- In order for this support to work with Microsoft Office 97 applications, you will need to enable a preference in the Notes client. Select File, Preferences, User Preferences, and in the additional options window select "Enable MS Office 97 SendTo Notes." Choose OK, and you are ready to work. Keep in mind that you will need to restart any Microsoft Office application after making this change in Notes.
- If you are using Microsoft Office 2000 applications, the preference "Enable MS Office 97 SendTo Notes" will not be available since you Office 2000 is installed. However, in order for this support to work properly you must ensure Notes is the default e-mail program in Windows. Verify this by opening the Control Panel in Windows, selecting Internet Options, then selecting the Programs tab and verifying Notes is the default e-mail program.
- In order for Notes mail integration to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer you must ensure Notes is the default e-mail program in Windows too. Verify this by opening the Control Panel in Windows, selecting Internet Options, then selecting the Programs tab and verifying Notes is the default e-mail program.
