NameDropper 5.01 About NameDropper does one of four things. 1. Moves you to the Hilited name. 2. Add a blank name card. 3. Add a name card based on what you have selected.* 4. Add a name card based on Mailing a Text only version of the Name Card.* * Will also add any extra text to the notes area of the name card. ** This is a 45 day demo. A registration code is required to continue use after 45 days. How To 1. Moves you to the selected name: (my idea) a. Hilite a name*, b. tap the Names button, c. NameDropper moves you to that name card. It's that simple. * i) In Newton OS 1x, the hilited text must be the last name or a company name) ii) In Newton OS 2.0 the hilited text must be the last name, company, first name, zip code - this depends on the sort order that is set in the Names-> i ->Prefs. 2. Add a blank name card: (Ben Gottlieb's idea) a. Write "New" (in the Notepad for instance) b. Hilite "New" c. tap the Names button d. NameDropper creates a blank name card for you to fill in. (notice that the country is automatically filled out for you, NameDropper uses whatever country you live in as the default) 3. Add a name card based on what you have selected: (Leonard Hooks idea) a. I'm going to attach Leonard's (slightly edited) message board posting to explain this: "I would like to see a shareware program that would allow me to write a note, in a specific format, then select that text and tap the Names button, and have it automatically set up a new names file entry using that info. I frequently write notes of a persons name, address and phone and then have to do some gymnastics to cut and paste the info into the Name file. Here's how my suggestion would work: Let each line represent the line in the Names file. Line 1 First Name Line 2 Last Name Line 3 (if there are only numbers here assume this is name and phone info only and create the record that way) otherwise, this is company name. If the line is blank, skip it. Line 4 Address Line 5 City Line 6 State Line 7 Zip Line 8 Phone Line 9 Fax Therefore, if I entered the following: new Hardy Macia Catamount Software P.O. Box 8276 Essex VT 05451 802 863-5256 then selected the text and dropped on the button, it would make a new record. Another version would allow me to write: new Hardy Macia 802 863-5256 802 863-5256 /* I have the same fax line */ then when the Name Button is tapped, it would act accordingly." Yet, another version would be to write: (for adding email addresses) new Hardy Macia hardy@catamount.com /* you need the @ sign, or it will think it is an telephone number */ then when the Name Button is tapped, it would act accordingly." 4. Add a name card based on what you have selected, but use with text generated by Mailing a Name card. I wrote this so that it could be used in conjunction with Aloha. (my idea) Each line is really one line from the Names Card. You must formatted it slightly to break apart first and last names, to break apart the city, state, zip, and to add blank line for field that do not exist. The lines required are: line 0 : card line 1 : salutation line 2 : first name line 3 : last name line 4 : title: title line 5 : company line 6 : address line 1 line 7 : address line 2 line 8 : city line 9 : state line 10 : zip code line 11 : country line 12 : phone: phone number line 13 : phone: phone number line 14 : phone: phone number line 15 : phone: phone number line 16 : birthday : birthday line 17 : email address: email address line 18+ : notes So, it would look like: card Mr. Hardy Macia President Catamount Software P.O.
