Q: How do I change the order of texts in the Text List Pane?

A: If you wish your texts to appear in a certain order in the Text List Pane, you can use the Category field to do this. Simply enter a number in the Category field for each text, so that when you sort on Category, the texts will appear in the order you specified.

Q: I cannot replace an attachment.

A: When replacing an attachment, 'Exact Match' is ticked by default as a safety precaution. This means that you must enter the exact name including the extension of the file, i.e. brochure.doc instead of brochure (not case sensitive). If you do not want an exact match, you can untick this option.

Q: Why is Format > HTML or Rich Text grayed out?

A:You cannot directly change rich text to HTML and vice versa. To do this, you must first convert the text to plain text and then convert the text to the desired format.

Q: Sometimes certain options are grayed out (Dis/Connect to Shared Folder, Spell Check, Font, Paragraph, Auto preview, etc.)

A: This is because certain options relate to certain pane views. For example for Spell Check, Font and Paragraph to be available, the Text Pane should be active. To Connect or Disconnect Shared Folders, the Folder List Pane should be active. To enable or disable the Auto preview you must activate the Text List Pane.

Q: When I paste a picture from Word the image is not displayed.

Firstly, pictures can only be used in HTML messages. Secondly, pictures must be inserted, not pasted into HTML messages. This is because the HTML message needs a link to a file since the picture is added dynamically. When you paste an image into an HTML message, you will see a border with a blank image. You must delete this and add the image by choosing Insert > Picture.

Q: My picture is displayed empty with a red cross in it.

This can happen if you renamed, moved or deleted the picture that you inserted into the text. Since the text is in HTML it dynamically adds the picture to the text. You can either return the picture to its original state, or delete the picture and insert a new one pointing to the right file.

Q: When I use the hot keys or Outlook buttons, nothing happens.

A: The hot keys and ReplyMate Outlook buttons will only work if ReplyMate is running. To see if ReplyMate is started, check if ReplyMate is in the system tray or task bar. If ReplyMate is not there you can start ReplyMate by double-clicking on the ReplyMate icon on the desktop, by choosing Start > Programs > ReplyMate or by opening Outlook.

Q: I get a Windows Installer error when trying to install ReplyMate.

A: If you get an error message informing you that you must install a later version of Windows Installer, it means that you have not installed service pack 1 for Outlook 2000, or there was a problem with the update. Microsoft has more information on their website about how to apply service pack 1, and what to do if this error message appears even after you have installed service pack 1.
