Implementing Smart Tags for IIM

Ipswitch Instant Messaging integrates with Microsoft® Office products by using Smart Tags. IIM Ipswitch Instant Messaging is one component of the Ipswitch Collaboration Suite. IIM enables teams to communicate instantly with groups around the world or around the corner, and can be installed behind a firewall so interoffice communications never leave the office. Smart tags are persons' names or email addresses that are associated with an IIM contact. Microsoft Office automatically recognizes smart tags in any Office document.

To implement Smart Tags, register the imclientst.dll (regsvr32 imclientst.dll):

An essential part of deploying smart tag add-ins is registering DLLs correctly. Smart tag recognizer and handler DLLs register with Office by writing their locations in the registry. On a per-machine basis (which means for all users of a particular computer), register smart tag recognizers and action handlers in the following directories:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart Tag\Actions When a rule's conditions are or are not met, IMail responds with an Action. For example, if a rule traps a message, the Action Type could be to move the message to a mailbox set up to receive spam. Another Action Type would be to bounce the message or insert an X-Header to indicate that a message was forged.\{6B173677-3FB3-4166-A9CA-713C15758B00}

Add the string value IMClientST.StAction with no value.

-AND-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart Tag\Recognizers\{05879876-CA61-4A0C-8D3B-95013E7B1DC5}

Add the string value IMClientST.StRecognizer with no value.
