The address book is a productivity tool for the Mac. This is a digital address book where you can store lots of data on your contacts, including their AIM account, their pictures, and extra tidbits. You can print labels and envelopes right from your address book. You can set up groups in your address book. Once your groups are set up, you’ll be able to select a group to send email to, keeping you from having to add each person singularly. In the Name column you will be able to add your contacts. You can add/delete fields for each of your contacts. If you’d like to put your most current picture of yourself in your address book, go to Card/Choose Custom Image. Click on Take a video snapshot to take your picture. Open the dashboard in your dock. Click on the address book. Type in one of your contact’s name and it will appear. This is a quick way to look up data on your contacts. Open your spotlight and type in the search bar one of your contacts. Put quotation marks around the name so it finds only that name. This will locate anything on your computer that has that contact’s name, emails, documents, etc. Once you’ve added your contacts and their mailing addresses, you can print labels, envelopes, or small address lists.
