Change address formats in Address Book
Authored by: markian on Feb 03, '05 04:29:19PM

This seems totally, cool, but I'm not sure I understand. Is there a way to make Addressbook display _different address formats? It drives me crazy that everything is displayed canadian-style. I have no idea how to enter my friend's address in Dublin, or Bratislava, for example.

Can someone point me at what I should be doing?

To change the address format for a particular entry, do the following:

  1. click Edit to edit the card
  2. click on "work" or "home" or whatever the label to the left of the address says
  3. Go to the "Change Address Format" submenu of the popup menu
  4. Choose the country

Change address formats in Address Book
Authored by: mathieubill on Feb 06, '05 05:22:24AM

Hi Markian,

If you want to change the format of the address, just click on the left button of the address (usually labelled "work"). You will see a list of labels (work, home, other) then "Custom... " and then at the bottom "Change address format..." Click on it and you will have a list of countries. Just select the appropriate country (In your case Slovakia) and you are done!

Mathieu
