MessageSlips Classic Subjects

Classic subjects are pre-defined messages. MessageSlips is installed with a few classic subjects already set up for you, but you can add as many as you like for your practice. You can also edit and delete them as necessary. If you find yourself sending the same message regularly, just create a classic subject and you'll be able to send it in just a few keystrokes. If you have a soundcard and a microphone, you can record your message as a ".wav" sound file and save it to the Sounds subdirectory, then attach it to your classic subject. Whenever you send that message, the recipient will hear your voice speaking the message.

You manage the classic subjects from the Classic Subjects and Matching Sounds window. To open the window, double-click the MessageSlips icon to open the Send New Message window. Then, click the Classic Subjects lookup button.

From this window, you can add, edit, or delete classic subjects.
