In this lesson you will lean how to turn on some pretty cool features in your Address Book on your Mac. I especially like to feature to notify everyone in your address book when your information changes. I will show you how to make changes to the default add Contact form to include extra fields that you need.
Help on Address Books general preferences
Wow, I did not know you could sync your address book with Yahoo out of the box. No extra software needed.
Notify people when your information changes
Default Address Book “Add a contact”
Notice there is no field to add the person’s title and website URL. This was always a point of frustration for me. I knew it could be done, but it was not obvious how to get it done.
Add a Field to an existing contact
I finally figured out that you could add several fields to an existing or new contact via the Card menu. It was not quite obvious that you could do this.
Adding fields to add Contact template
You can customize the add Contact template in your Address Book preference
Adding the Title field to the add Contact template
In this example I am adding the person’s job title
Title Field Added
Change the phone number format
