It has been a little while since I last gave a tip on ACT.  Here's one that I that I think you will like.

Let's say that a colleague asked you for the Contact info for someone you have in your database.  You probably know that you can send their info as a .vcf attachment, but there is alternative.  Here's how:

In ACT! all versions
1. Lookup the Contact who's information you want to send in your ACT! database
2. View their Contact record (the screen that depicts only their info)
3. Press CTRL + C (copy) - nothing will appear to happen
4. Create a new blank e-mail in either ACT email, Outlook, etc.
5. Press CTRL + P (paste)
The Contact's basic contact info is inserted into the body of the email.

If you are wondering how to insert a Contact's information as a .vcf attachment (this includes more complete information and the recipient can then just open the attachment and save them directly into their ACT! database) here's how:

In ACT! all versions
1. Create a new e-mail in ACT! E-mail
-In the new e-mail window
2. Insert > Contact...
3. Locate the Contact you want to attach
4. Click 'Add>'
5. Click 'OK'
6. Complete and send the e-mail as normal

That's it!
