*** Send Individually Final Version Released ***
Several bugs have been fixed including when the Send button stayed grayed out
even if you weren't using Send Individually. Also fixed a problem where the
add-in would look for a .TXT file even though the addresses had already been
selected, and general difficulties when using Word as the email editor. Most
of these problems were associated with a recent service pack put out by Microsoft
(for Word, not Outlook).

*** Auto Print Upgraded ***
This add-in (for Outlook 2000 or better) which allows you to automatically print
email and/or attachments, has been upgraded to allow you to print everything in
one or more Outlook folders according to the built-in filters. It also now
supports printing in order (i.e., first email, then those attachments, second
email, then those attachments, etc.), unlike when you use Outlook's native printing
capability. Finally, it has been fixed to handle shared mailboxes while in Exchange
cached mode.

*** Duplicate Eliminator Upgraded ***
The Duplicate Eliminator add-ins we offer are useful - but we've made an important
enhancement. They all now offer to show you a report when they have finished running
that allows you to see WHY two items which otherwise look identical are in fact not
identical at all. We'll still be here to help you if you can't resolve the difficulty,
but this should help that certain kind of person who simply likes to do the work
themselves and get on with their day.

*** The Most Common Add-In Problem And How To Fix It ***
By far the most common question we get goes something like this: "Our Sperry Software
add-in was working fine, and then today, all of a sudden, it's not working. I'm
clicking on the Sperry Software Add-Ins button in the main Outlook window but it's
not doing anything. How can I fix this"?
The answer is simple. Outlook protects itself whenever anything goes wrong by disabling
add-ins first. While there are many reasons why Outlook chooses to disable it there's
only one way to bring it back. Go to (in Outlook) Help�About Microsoft Office Outlook.
Click on the Disabled Items button at the bottom. If the Sperry Software engine is listed
there, highlight and click Enable. You'll need to restart Outlook in order to have the
add-in work again, and if you uninstalled the add-in, then you'll need to install it again
just in case.
As mentioned, this problem can happen for many different reasons but if it happens to you
frequently, email us and we'll help you get to the bottom of the problem.
*** Outlook 2007 Beta 2 ***
Some of you already know that a new version of the Office 2007 is available. Some of
you have tried it out, and some of you are asking what's going on with Sperry Software
and Outlook 2007.
Well, we tried it out here. There's good news and bad news. The good news is that the
add-ins work, the bad news is that the buttons do not show up in the new "ribbon" toolbar
when you view an individual email or contact. This means that add-ins that don't have
any buttons (like Reply To All Monitor or the Duplicate Eliminators) work fine in Outlook 2007.
However, any add-in that requires a button on an individual Outlook item "viewer" won't be
able to function properly (like Follow Up Reminders).
Be rest assured that we are working hard on creating versions that will work correctly with
Outlook 2007, and they should be ready around September. When those versions are ready, we
will let you know.
And most important of all, the upgrades will be free.
*** Recent Fixes And Updates ***
We're beginning a new segment of our newsletter. In an effort to let you know what changes
have been made to the add-ins we are now going to publish the changes in this newsletter.
You could always check the website and compare versions to see if you needed an upgrade, but
we thought this would be a nice way to remind you that there may be bug fixes or enhancements
that you need to know about. The items presented here are usually minor enough to not warrant
a full release.
Follow Up Reminders: When forwarding an email with the Follow Up Reminders button, if the
recipient replied to the forwarded email, the subject prefix changed from "FW: " to "RE: ",
preventing the add-in from recognizing the subject properly. This has been fixed. International
time formats are now supported when viewing the reminder times. Created a new window that
displays all the pending reminders in one window.
http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outlook/Follow-Up-Reminder.asp
Mobile Email Redirect: International time formats now supported in "When To Send" tab. From address
now specified.
http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outlook/Mobile-Email-Redirect.asp
Print On Demand: Corrected the Hothelp text displayed when viewing the temporary attachment
folder. Also fixed an error when saving the email and there are inadequate permissions to do
so, and like Auto Print, it now prints the attachments in order.
http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outlook/Print-On-Demand.asp
Schedule Recurring Email: International time formats now supported.
http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outlook/Schedule-Recurring-Email.asp
Vcard Converter: Elaborated Hothelp to mention that one VCF file will be exported with the toolbar
button, multiple VCF files with this configuration window. Also fixed an internal error when
exporting partial addresses and corrected missing birthday dates.

*** Housekeeping ***
We've recently beefed up our tech support staff to help you better. In addition, we've added
a 1-800 number to make it easier (or at least cheaper) for you to reach us. The number
is 800-878-1645. We still have the 904-343-7408 number if you prefer, or if you're calling internationally.
