If you actively work in Outlook and send similar emails every day, you are likely to have our Template Phrases add-in.

Here at AbleBits we constantly test and enhance the tools you use daily. Today we've got really good news for you as we have just released an update for Template Phrases version 4. Some of the changes can be easily noticed, some are not so evident, but all of the updates are implemented to improve your experience with Outlook.

Outlook memory usage reduced

The first important change is moving the file with templates to a new storage base. This improvement allowed to reduce Outlook memory usage by several times and to avoid some major problems with big-size files with templates.

New helpful macros for your templates

In addition, our developer fixed several minor bugs and added a number of helpful macros. You can see their descriptions below:

~ADDCC= - this macro automatically adds the email address(es) you enter after = to the CC field. If you already have any addresses in the CC field, they will be kept. Please note that there is also the macro ~%FILLCC= which will remove any current entries from CC when the template is pasted.

~ADDBCC= - enters the BCC address(es) you specify. The current BCC addresses will be saved. If you need to clear the BCC line before inserting the template, please use the ~%FILLBCC macro.

~ADDTO= - adds the specified email(s) to the To field. If you already have any data in the To field and want to remove them before pasting the template, you can use the ~%FILLTO= macro.

~%CLEAR_SIGNATURE. We received a number of requests to add this macro and we are happy to introduce it. It will be really helpful if you have certain signature pasted automatically, but there are several templates that require a different signature. With this macro in your template the current signature will be deleted and you will not need to do it manually.
