• To copy a whole record to the clipboard, select the record in the Index window or display it in the View window and press Command- C. If you want only the name and address, hit the “a” key then Command-C. If you want to flip the name, hit the “f” key first. You can hit both the “a” and the “f” keys before Command-C.
• To copy a field or part of a field, press Command-E to bring up the edit window. You can now select text by dragging and clicking over the text to select it, and then pressing Command-C. Command-X will cut the selected text.
‚à´Pasting from the Clipboard
• Command-V pastes a complete record from the copy made above into the Index or View windows to create a new record. You can copy from one Address Book to another to transfer complete records.
• If you have a name and address on the clipboard copied from another program, simply press Command-C in the Index or View Record windows to paste the first line in the name field, and the following lines into the address field. If lines consist of a sequence of numbers, Address Book deems these to be phone numbers and puts them in the phone fields. This feature allows you to create new records quickly from addresses in other programs.
• You can paste suitable length text from the clipboard into the New, Edit, Find, Mark, and Macro windows by pressing Command-V.
‚à´Extended Keyboards
• Because the New & Edit windows use “Modal Dialogs,” the menus and the extended keyboard Cut, Copy & Paste are not accessible. With INITs such as QuicKeys, you can create a key alias to make the “Copy” function key do a “Command-C”.
