ACT Templates

The Durkin Toolkit for ACT! uses Verb to create, edit and generate documents from templates with "*.tpl" extensions.  Verb is a word processor designed and written by Durkin Computing. It uses many of the same Third Party controls as ACT's native word processor. We designed it so we could expand on the limited list of fields available in ACT! to encompass the new custom table fields.
