Using Template Editor’s status bar to work easily with complex and fancy e-mail signatures
Hi Exchange admins! Let's focus today on the next feature of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro which definitely deserves your attention - the status bar in your Template Editor. As you already know, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is an e-mail management software, providing a sophisticated Template Editor that allows you to create beautiful and stylish e-mail signatures, banners and footers. Bearing in mind how important it is to maintain a professional look of your brand identity, the application has been equipped with highly advanced edit features that let you efficiently and pleasantly work even with the very complex signature layouts. See below an exemplary e-mail signature, imported from the built-in signatures library of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. As you can see, all the top elements of the signature are placed in the table. It is obviously a preview table that will not be visible in a message (unless you set a border size above 0). You can identify at the first sight, some of the most popular edit functions displayed in the Template Editor's ribbon. So if you want to modify your signature details, such as a phone number, e-mail address or web page name, you might highlight them like in the image below: The next thing you are most likely to do, is to go to the top ribbon's section called Font and select a proper font type, size, colors etc. Will it work this way? Yes, it certainly will work in this case, but how about modifying the table's cell or row? You will not do it analogically, because the visible ribbon's settings do not apply to the HTML elements, such as row, cell or a whole table. If, for example, you want to change a background color of the chosen single cell, you should now look at the bottom bar of the editor. It is more functional that you may expect as it displays the selected HTML elements of the table, e.g. <BODY>, <TABLE>, <TR> or <TD>. See in the picture below, the whole cell is being selected, so the <TD> element is being highlighted in the bottom status bar. Now you can access a full palette of options and modify the selected element according to your needs. You just need to use the Properties section that appears on the right hand side. Notice that the Properties table also informs you what HTML element has been tagged (see the name next to the Tag cell in the second column of the table). Using the Properties options, you can easily change a background color of the selected cell (let's select a blue color for the presented cell) or go to the Style window to work with more advanced settings of the cell's fonts, background and border. For the exemplary e-mail signature, the cell's border-style is being now selected as grooved, thick and green. See below: This is what it looks like after the settings have been applied: As you can see, each HTML element of your signature or footer can be modified within a few clicks. This is all you need to know about the status bar. Just remember that this feature is always at your fingertips to streamline your design work when making complex e-mail signatures. If you want to find out more about Template Editor's functions, see our user’s manual. If you do not have a program yet and wonder if it suits your company’s needs, go to the program's information page and see all its main features. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro overview

Student Workshops at CodeTwo
As you know, our headquarters is based in Jelenia Góra, a unique town in the south of Poland, surrounded by the wonderful Giant Mountains (Karkonosze). Among its many charms, this country has undoubtedly one particularly important aspect for the growing number of technological institutions that build their offices and research centers here: our talented programmers. The level of education in the Exact sciences in Poland is very high. My American and British friends claim some of the subjects on the Polish curriculum of Mathematics at secondary school are not introduced until University level in their respective countries. So maybe because of the early ‘mind-exercises’, Polish young programmers evidently distinguish themselves with impressive achievements in worldwide programming contests. We can also be proud of TopCoder international competitions results: in the Algorithm Category Poland is the 4th top rated country and Warsaw University takes the 2nd place among participating schools. It is no wonder that our team is full of youthful energy and mental agility. Our doors are wide open for talented graduates. Recently, our company has been involved in educational enterprise for local IT students. A group of young computer "geeks" from 'InteleKKt', a school IT club, has been participating in practical workshops conducted by CodeTwo specialists. The last meetings were devoted to SEO, website positioning strategies and multithreaded programming. CodeTwo give ambitious students a chance to broaden their knowledge of essential programming techniques. A comprehensive understanding of these issues increases their job prospects at CodeTwo. Students are also motivated to choose subjects proposed by CodeTwo for their Final Engineering Projects. Since CodeTwo is developing rapidly, successfully selling software worldwide, the new jobs are being created within the organization. Local students already know that early investment into their practical skills will pay off in the near future when they try to join CodeTwo team. In fact, many skilled programmers from across the country come to CodeTwo, tempted with an attractive job environment as well as a beauty of this region, and have made significant contribution into achieving our company mission.

Active Directory dynamic fields on MS Exchange Server
Our newest program CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is getting more and more of your attention, so we've decided to post practical tips regarding its functions. We want to tell you about some of the useful features this powerful email management software offers, and which may be not obvious for first-time users. Let's focus today on Active Directory dynamic fields. What are dynamic fields? They are placeholders of our personalized email signature template referring to particular information, such as message sender details, images, message subject or even current date. So why do we call them 'dynamic'? It's because they dynamically retrieve data from Active Directory, from a location on the hard drive (images) or from message properties.
