• The mark function works in much the same way as “Find” but it marks, with an asterisk, all records containing the sample string. It is now easy to scan the index pages to see where or how often the sample occurs. The selected record mark “•” is positioned at the first marked record.
• Holding the Option key while stepping through the records in the View or Edit windows displays only records which have been marked.
• Individual records can be marked with the “m” key in the Index or View windows.
‚à´Unmark
• Command-U unmarks all records. “U” alone unmarks only the displayed record.
‚à´Refining the Records Marked
• 1st button checked: all existing marks are cleared and the records containing the sample string are marked.
• 2nd button checked: all existing marks are retained and new ones are added where the new sample is found.
• 3rd button checked: the records marked are unmarked if the sample is found.
• 4th button checked: the records marked remain marked only if the sample is found.
‚à´Example
• Let us find all records of people in the U.S.A. who have Fax numbers.
1. Press Command-M to bring up the dialog box. Key in “U.S.A”, check the “In Address” item, and click OK.
2. Maybe it is USA in some records, so press Command-M again, but this time click the “Also mark...” button. Key in “USA” and click OK.
3. Press one more Command-M. This time click the “Leave only...” button. Key in “Fax”, check only the “In Phone” item, and click OK.
