• The most convenient way to begin a search is with the Command-F key, followed by the name or portion of the name you wish to find, and the Return key. For Andy Hertzfield, try andy, hert or field. Either click the Next button or use the cursor keys to continue the search.
• The search is automatically canceled by going to the Index or by selecting any menu item.
• Limiting the search to specific fields does not reduce the search time significantly; it simply confines the search to the selected fields.
‚à´Find at Startup
• The Preferences dialog allows you to have the Find dialog appear automatically at start up, as soon as the list file is loaded.
_‚à´Get Name
• Press Command-G and type the last name of the person you are looking for. “S” takes you immediately to the first S... record. “T” then takes you to the first “St...” record, and so on.
• When the “Get Name” function is active, the cursor changes to a key with the letter A on it. “Get Name” is initially active for 5 seconds and reduces to 3 seconds after any key is pressed. Clicking the mouse or hitting the space bar, a cursor key, or a Command key also cancels the function.
• Do NOT type spaces or punctuation marks; “doejohn” will find “Doe. John”. This method of locating a record is extremely fast.
