• With the appropriate boxes checked in the Dial Setup, calls are logged to a file which appears in the same folder as the active list file. The file is named “AdBk log (mth) (year)” as in “AdBk log Jan 1991”. A new file is created each month.
• The type of the file is TEXT; thus it can be opened by any word processor. Formatting will be correct with a mono-spaced font such as Monaco or Courier selected. The file “Creator” can be set via the “File Creators” menu item. This makes the log file a double clickable document which can automatically open your word processor. After changing the creator, you will have to close, then open, the folder containing the log file for the Finder to set the new creator.
‚à´Notes
• Once a call has been logged, the “Notes” feature is active and remains active even after the call timer has been stopped. (Hit “n” in the Index or View windows). This allows you to add comments to the phone log. To add more after the notes dialog is closed, hit “n” again.
‚à´Manual Logging
• Although it is impossible for Address Book to log incoming calls, you can do this yourself. Command-L opens the logging dialog, where you can simply start keying in a name as it appears in the index window, and the search will follow your typing. If you make a spelling error or the name is not found, you will hear a beep. The left arrow key moves the cursor to the beginning, and you can restart the search. Pressing the tab key clears the window and allows you to type in a name to appear in the log file.
