Hi,
I have set up several Contact Groups and have a couple of question
that I have been unable to fine in Entourage Help, FAQ's within this
site and on the Microsoft site either.
Question 1:
Now that I have set up several Groups.... how can I view and edit
the contacts within those groups ?
In the Address Book, find the entry for that group and double-click it
to open it for editing.
Question 2:
How many contacts can be held within each Group, is there a limit
and if so, what is the cut off ??
I don't believe there is any limit. I have had groups with around 200
entries before now.
Question 3:
How do i merge one or several groups into one ? ie. I have 8
Groups that I have made up over time, I want to put all the contact
from all the groups into one ( if there is no limit to the number
of contacts that can be held in a group)
[Easy Method]
create a new group (group 4)
open the group for editing
drag group 1 out of the address book listing into the 'members' window
of group 4.
repeat for groups 2 & 3
close group 4.
Group 4 will now inherit al the members of groups 1, 2 & 3
However, you will have to keep groups 1, 2 & 3 around as any changes
to those groups will propagate to any groups they are a member of (in
just the same way that if you make a contact a member of a group,
instead of typing the address into the group, changes to that contact
are reflected in the group.
[Slightly Harder Method]
create a new group (group 4)
open the group for editing
Open group 1 for editing
click in the 'members' pane & hit cmd-A to select all, then cmd-C to
copy
click in the members pane of group 4 & type cmd-V for paste
repeat for groups 2 & 3
close all groups
Group 4 will now contain all of the entries from groups 1, 2 & 3.
Unlike with the other method, you can now delete groups 1, 2 & 3
without affecting group 4.
