It is very easy to create your own snippets.
Snippets are just normal files. Currently we support Word-documents, Plain text files and images as Snippets.
You can add snippets in two ways:
- Add selected text to a new snippet
- Add files to your snippets folder
Add selected text as new Snippet
- Select the text in your Word Document or Outlook Message.
- Right click on the selected tekst
- Choose “Add selected text as InsertText Snippet”
- Remark: You can also select the text and in the Ribbon Tab INSERT TEXT, and choose “Add selected as snippet”.
- Fill in the details of the new snippet
- Description: the name of the snippet. Make this name clear to what the snippet contains.
- Folder: choose the folder where you want to save the Snippet. With folders you can organize your snippets logically.
- Finally choose “Save with formatting” or “Save text only”. If you want the snippet to contain all the formatting as is, choose the first option. If you are only interested in the text, choose the second option.
Copy existing files in the snippets folder
- When you have already existing files that you want to use as snippets, you can just copy these files into a snippet folder.
- Refresh the folders (right click on folders/refresh) and your files are ready to be used as Snippets.
