Another Window
. When it first opens, the other window shows exactly the same information as the
preceding window, Then, you can open another file in it (for example, to drag and drop contacts from
one file to another, or you may want to display different views of the contacts in the same file
simultaneously.
Dragging and dropping contacts from one file to another
The following example explains the difference between dragging and dropping contacts from file to
file inside the same window and performing this task with the files displayed in separate windows:
•
When you drag and drop contacts from one file to another in the same window, you drop the
selected contacts onto the name of the file on the File Bar.
•
When you drag and drop contacts from one window to another, you can drop the contacts
anywhere onto the detailed area of the window. If the detailed area had displayed a contact
in the Summary or Edit view, it will change to the List view when you drop new contacts
there. The list view will display t in Summary or Edit view. List view displaying the contacts
added to the list still highlighted.
TIP: The ability to drag and drop multiple contacts from one file to another allows you to split
large files into two smaller ones. For more information, please consult the Online Help.
