Hello Sarah, Thank you for your response. I was doing just that, but it seemed an odd approach, especially since sometimes, when "re-interacting" with something with which one had previously interacted, all the Mac would do was beep at me. Though the approach works most of the time, it is slow, inconsistent and clunky, definitely a step or three below Mac's usually excellent approach to handling things.
I will start to look for an alternative to the Address Book and let everyone know if I find it. I believe that I will also write to the accessibility people and apprise them of this sad state.
