Not to belabor the point, but there are more problems caused by the Title vs. Suffix issue. When printing an Address Book (and, by the way, it is an attractive format), there is no way to print the Suffix. The M.D. Or Ph.D. Or other suffix does not print anywhere in the book. It would be nice to know if a certain person on the list is the R.N. Or the M.D. Or the R.T., etc.You can turn that off in Tools-->AutoCorrect. Since you have left “Capitalize first letter of sentences on”, and you have a period followed by a space after R.N. it thinks you’re beginning a new sentence. I have that option turned off (since otherwise it capitalizes every first word of every line of a script) I don’t have that problem, as you can see.
[Sorry all my "Or's" are capitalized - Entourage is doing that by itself!]
Both a record and the address
As a workaround, and to temporarily help with the problem of the lack of display on the Palm, I have modified Paul’s script to add the Suffix to the categories in the “title” field.
book used to look like this: Paul made it look like this: I made it look like this:
John Smith John Smith, Jr., Ph.D. John Smith, Jr., Ph.D.
Jr., Ph.D. CategoryName Jr., Ph.D., CategoryName
You should get rid of the comma after “Jr.” in suffix now, no?
No. I may be a scripting toddler, but I still don’t end things in a comma. It’s just that the “Ph.D.” Following the “Jr.,” scrolled to the next line. When it comes time to undo this script, what is the syntax for removing the first few characters of a string in AppleScript? I used to to it in BASIC “If Left$(String$(1,3) = “Jr.” then String$ = etc. [I have to learn all my scripting from the examples you and others provide to the list because I don’t have Scripting for Dummies yet.]
