		OutlookReminder Release 1.0

What is OutlookReminder?
-----------------------

This is a Microsoft Outlook addin for making telephone reminder calls
for appointments. For this release, it is free and there is no time limit.
You will also need to have Voicent Gateway from Voicent Communications.
Their website is at http://www.voicent.com. There is a shareware version
of the program you can download. Voicent Gateway is the program that
actually makes the telephone calls.


How do I use OutlookReminder?
-----------------------------

Once you are done with installation, you can setup phone reminder call
for your appointments. Simply click on the Reminder Call page of your
appointment and select the phone options. If you leave the "call this
number" blank, no phone call will be made. (This is the default). At the
appointment reminder time, a telephone call will be made to the number
you specified.


Installation
------------

(1). Download from http://www.voicent.com. You can download Voicent
AutoReminder which contains Voicent Gateway. Follow the instruction
to install Voicent Gateway. For OutlookReminder, it is optional to
install AutoReminder.

(2). Download OutlookReminder. Unzip the file into a installation
directory. If you see this file, you probably have done so already.

(3). Run olremind.exe. Go to the main menu, select Setup. Set up the
Voicent Gateway host name and port number. Also type in your name and
phone number. Quit the program. Note, you only need to run this program
once to set up OutlookReminder.

(4). Install a customized form to Outlook. The file is remindercall.oft
in your installation directory. See the next section if you do not know
how to do this step.

That's it.
