How do I modify the company name of multiple contacts at once?

#1 September 9th, 2004, 12:37 AM

Is there some way? Or am I relegated to one by one editing? I've got
roughly 150 contacts that all need the company name changed to the same thing
at the same time.

Turn on Advanced toolbars.

In your Contacts folder change to phone list view. Now click the Group By
Box and the Field chooser.

Fix 1 contact's details. e.g. from Acme P/L to ABC Company p/l.

Put the column header for Company name in the Group By box. Now the correct
person will be in a group all by themselves. Highlight the people grouped
as Acme and drag them to the ABC group. Done!!

Thank you so much ... That worked great, I started doing the first few by
hand and when I couldn't find out how to do this in the help system I got so
fustrated. Now I'm happy again;-)
