Creating Address Lists (c)janes-placeThere are a lot of reasons to keep address lists. Here are some of them:
A-Keep a list of your contacts, so that you can use them for contacting later.
B-Keep a list of your customers and put them into categories. For instance, I keep a list of my customers that advertise with me. That way when I run a special, I can mail directly to them since they have bought advertising from me in
past, I let them know of any specials first.
C-Christmas Card list
D-It's easy to update friend's and family's new addresses when they move or to update names. You could make a list for family and a list for friends.
E-Let's say you forget someones last name. You know their first name is John, but you can't remember their last name. You can search for John and get his information.
You can create an address list in Microsoft works or Outlook.
With Microsoft Works, using 'Address Book TaskWizard makes this chore a lot easier. Got to Start, Programs, Microsoft Works. Double-click on Adress Book. Click Yes in run TaskWizard box to run TaskWizard.

When you click on Create Document, you will be asked if you want this Address Book to be one that opens through Address Book toolbar button. Choose yes or no.
Your Address Book Database will appear on screen. The first thing you want to do is go to file menu and click on Save As. Give it a name--Family and click Save. This is called Form View.
