Announce time software

A: The ability to enhance the received message window is very limited in the current release. I will consider these enhancements in a future major upgrade but it will require time and research to implement these features safely. The features of the received message window, including the message size, is limited by the Macintosh's Notification Manager, a part of the operating system software.

When the Announcer receives a message, it does not display the message itself, but "passes" it to the Notification Manager. Then the Notification Manager decides when it is "safe" to display the message.

This guarantees Announcer is compatible and reliable no matter what program s are running when a message comes in. Unfortunately, Apple did not provide many ways to customize the Notification Manager. Q: Are you planning a Microsoft Windows version?

A: No future upgrades are planned at this time. Q: Can I save incoming messages? A: Yes. In the recent versions of the Announcer control panel you can check an option to save incoming messages to a text file. In System 7. Q: Can I save common outgoing messages?

A: : Yes. Type your message, then select Save from the File menu. Next time you want to send this message, open the file you just saved. Q: Can I make the alert sound option default 'on? Change the 'Default Play Alert Sound' setting to true. Q: I don't want users sending audio messages on the network. Can the ability to Add Audio be disabled? Q: We use At Ease and need Announcer to use a different network name? A: Recent versions of the Announcer control panel will let you select the Announcer's network name to be either the Owner Name or Macintosh Name.

By default Announcer selects the Owner Name. At Ease users will want to go to the Announcer control panel and change the Network Name option to Macintosh and then Restart.

See the Sharing Setup control panel to define specific names. Q: When Announcer installs I get an 'error ' message.
