I use a Windows folder and Notepad to keep my address book including
phone numbers and notes for companies and people such as business
hours or directions. I have a .txt file for each entry with the
person or company name and main phone number as the file name. If I
want to go to Social Security to find their number, I open the
address book folder, which is on my desktop with a hot key to get
there quickly. Then I type s o and arrow down if that's not the
entry, or I could type more of the name. Each entry is short, so no
pages to scroll through. If I need more of a search than the first
few characters of the name, I can use the Windows search
function. It's easy to delete an entry when no longer needed,
including all its notations. It's also easy to back up by copying
the address book folder onto an SD card or external hard drive.
The thing I like about Notepad over MS Word is the F3 key. After the
initial search in a file, I can hit F3 and it will go to the next
occurance and without the need to invoke the find dialog and then
escape from it. You're just there.
TTFN,
Marilyn
