Easy population of Address Book data Apps
When I receive complete info for someone in a Mail message, and I want to have that info in my address book, I do the following:
  1. Add the person using the Add sender to Address Book button.
  2. Launch Address Book and select the newly selected card
  3. Click Edit button
  4. Copy and paste all the info into the Note field of the card
  5. Drag and drop the information into the appropriate field
  6. Click Edit button to save.
This is a very easy way to populate an Address Book entry!

• When I need to type words, I will use the keyboard -- but if I need to wiggle the cursor around, I often use a mouse or a trackpad.

• If I need to see what's happening on screen, I sit facing in the direction of the computer's screen.

• In other words, doi.

OK. So maybe that wasn't the most amazing tip ever. I was hoping he had something better, too. However, a lot of people would probably move each piece one at a time. The Notes field is a handy dumping ground to get you working in just one app. Many people don't realize how much time that saves.

The best way to populate an address book is to get some friends who know how to write letters....... That's why my address book is empty. *snif* *sigh*
