Clipform comes with several sample templates to help you get started, and to show you some of the uses of Clipform. You can launch any of these templates simply by double-clicking on the template file in Windows Explorer. Or you can right-click, choose Edit, and the template will be opened in Notepad so you can customize it. Below is the full text of each of the included templates along with an explanation of how each one works. Clipform directives and Outlook field values and formatting codes are highlighted.

• APPOINTMENTS.CFT - Edit

  This template extracts all Outlook appointment items in the default Calendar folder to create an HTML mail message. The template includes appointments occurring starting today and for the next 30 days, sorted by start date. The HTML code preceding ENDHEADER appears once in the output, and is the HTML code for the message's header. Between ENDHEADER and BEGINFOOTER is the code for a table including the starting and ending times, appointment subject and location.

• DIRECTORY.CFT - Edit

  This simple template creates a directory of all Outlook contact items and saves it as a text file.

• TASK LIST.CFT - Edit

  This template makes a list of tasks due within the next seven days and creates an HTML mail message.

• PHONELOG.CFT - Edit

  This template creates a phone log, and saves it as a text file. The phone log entries are extracted from the Outlook Journal; only entries within the past 7 days are included. The Command= directive launches the text file when Clipform is finished.

• WEBPAGE.CFT - Edit

  This template takes the Outlook contacts folder and creates a formatted web page. The Command= directive opens the finished web page in your Internet browser when Clipform is completed.
