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
