I just discovered the new "IM Address" field in Entourage. It's a welcome
addition -- I'd been using Custom 6 for IM addresses previously.
However, I've been trying to find a way to show the IM Address field as a
column in the list of contacts and as a criteria in the Find/Custom View
dialog. Is there any way to use it in either location?
On a related note, is there a way -- when using custom views or the Find
dialog -- to effectively view/find all items that have or don't have a value
for a particular field? For example, I was trying to create a custom view
for all my IM contacts. The easiest way to do this should be to view "IM
Address exists" or "IM Address does not exist." (Forget, for the moment,
that "IM Address" isn't a criteria in the Find/Custom Views dialog ;-) ) But
that's not an option. Since not every IM address is a full email address, I
can't use "IM Address contains @," and the Find/Custom View dialog doesn't
support regular expressions (so I can't use "*"). I ended up working around
the limitation by manually finding all contacts with an IM Address,
assigning them to a new category ("IM"), and then creating a Custom View
that shows all contacts of the category "IM." Is there an easier approach?
