• When you create a new list file or load an Address Book version 2 list file, the category names that appear are from the last list that the Address Book saw.
• Before going further, you should decide what you want to name the categories. Use the Edit menu “Edit Category Names...” item to bring up the dialog. Click on the check box to bring an existing name into the edit box. To bypass the warning about changing names, hold down the Option key as you click the check box. This warning only appears if you are editing an existing name rather than selecting an empty name item.
‚à´Storing the Names
• When you exit the category name dialog, the names are saved to your list file to be loaded the next time you run Address Book and load the same list file.
• These new names become the default names stored in the Address Book program to be used when you create another new list file.
• Adding, deleting or changing these names for the new list file will not affect the names on your previous list.
‚à´Unique Names for Each List File
• Each list file can have its own category names which are saved in the list files.
• Once category names have been defined and categories set, avoid changing the names around, since the flags set in the records relate to the category number.
• For instance, if category 5 is Friends and you have set that in a number of records, then a flag is set in those records indicating category 5. Should you move the name Friends to item 8 and the 5th category is now something else, then selecting Friends, now item 8, will no longer select all your friends.
