Use a Custom Stamp When . . .
Here are some circumstances where it makes sense to take a few minutes to
build a custom stamp:
•
You write the same comment repeatedly. You may be a department head
who needs a date and time stamp as well as a department information
stamp. Build a stamp that asks for the information; you can now use a
dynamic date/time stamp, and your new custom stamp.
•
Your work includes different roles. You may be both a designer and a
supervisor. You can build separate stamps defining your role in different
situations.
•
Your work includes the same role and different moods. Use your imagina-
tion and create a suite of expressive stamps. A smiley face can be worth a
thousand words—and so can a bolt of lightning.
