ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. "Clip"ping an Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you want to enter an address from Address Manager into a document you are
editing you can copy the address to OS/2's Clipboard and paste the address into
your document.
Bring up the address you want and when it is displayed click on the "Clip"
button. This copies the address to the OS/2 Clipboard in the format:
First Name Last Name
Address1
Address2
City, State
Zip
In the document you are editing invoke a Paste and the address will be pasted
into the document where your cursor is located.
Note: If "First Name" was blank, because you used the "Last Name" field for a
company name for example, the pasted address will still be formatted properly.
If "Address2" was not filled in then the line is ignored and City, State is
pasted as expected.
