Setting a filter for your Address Book Entries

(Address Book View | View | Set Filter)

Define a filter when you only want to see Address Book Entries that fit certain criteria.

  1. Select an attribute to which the filter will be applied using the first drop-down list box on the left.
  2. Select one of the two filtering options using the second drop-down list box.
  3. Enter your filter criteria in the third list box.
If you selected "starts with" from the drop-down list box, type one or more characters in the edit box to the right. You will be shown all Address Book Entries that begin with the character or characters that you entered. If you selected the "is" option instead, type the entire name in the edit box to the right. You will be shown only those Address Book Entries that match the name that you typed in the edit box.

These filters will apply when printing the Address Book Entries. If you would like to add more filters, click More. Click Fewer if you would like to reduce the number of Address Book filters.

Remove a filter by going to Address Book View | View | Remove Filter.
