Now Contact's data entry aids, Automatic Address Entry and Automatic Typing, scan the other Contacts in a Contact File and determine if they contain data applicable to new Contacts.

To use Automatic Address Entry:
1. Enter a company name in the Company field. If an existing Contact works for the same company, that Contact's work address automatically appears in the new Contact's Work Address block. If there are multiple addresses for that company in the Contact File, Now Contact enters the address for the first Contact with that company name and a small arrow appears in the upper-right corner of the Work Address block.

2. Complete the other fields in the Name block.

3. If you enter an incorrect address, click the small arrow in the Work Address block. A pop-up menu of the company's various addresses appears. The number of Contacts who use each address appears in brackets next to the address.

4. Choose the work address you want to use for the new Contact. If no addresses apply to the new Contact, tab to the Work Address fields and type over the information there.

To use Automatic Typing:

1. Enter information for your new Contact in the Detail View fields. Now Contact looks for similar entries in other Contacts.

2. To accept automatic entries, press Tab. To search for the other similar entries, press Command-+ or Command--. To reject an entry, keep typing.
