Lesa Snider King, production editor on several of David Pogue’s Missing Manuals, is desperately seeking a sane solution to her current address book situation.
Hi. I’m Lesa Snider King. I am a graphics instructor and also David Pogue’s assistant. And, most recently, we just got finished working on the iPhoto ‘08 Missing Manual. I’ve also worked on the Leopard Missing Manual, the iMovie Missing Manual and so many other Missing Manuals, I can’t even count.
The one thing that I can think of that I wish a piece of software would do that it does not is an address book. If I thought of a way to merge the data from two contacts into one, that would be so wonderful. I have a huge honking address book with all these contacts and there’s duplicates and there’s information here that’s not there. So, I want a way to clean up all my contacts and merge the content from both.
And, one other little pet peeve is with Leopard. Apple took away the info box in iHouse and so now after I’ve created an appointment to edit that appointment, I have to double-click it. Bring me back my info drawer, so I can have all the information right there and change the alarms and all that kind of good stuff.
So, those are the top two things on my wish list.
I have a new computer w/VISTA.
On my old computer, I use Outlook for my contact list and each year I 'merge' my Christmas card list, from Outlook, with MS Word, then print address labels. Is there a way to print address labels from Windows Vista 'contact list'?
I can't find this info in the Vista "Missing Manual".
