ACT! 7 Tip

 

Saving a lookup as a group

With ACT! 2005 you can easily save a lookup of contacts as a new group. Follow the steps below:

  1. Create a lookup of contacts that you wish to be the members of the new group.

  2. Click the Lookup menu, point to Groups, and then click Save Lookup as Group. The Group Detail view appears.

  3. Enter the name of the new group and a description if needed.

  4. Click the File menu, and then click Save.


The new group will be created and the lookup of contacts will be automatically added as a dynamic criteria. If any new contacts are added to the database that pertain to the lookup, they will be automatically added to the group. Additionally, if any group member's fields that are associated with the saved lookup are changed to a value that no longer pertains to that saved lookup, they will be automatically removed.

Word Tip

 

Print 2 pages on a single sheet of paper
1. Start Microsoft Word, and open a blank document.
2. To set up Word so that it will print two pages on a single sheet, select Page Setup from the File menu.
3. In the Page Setup dialog box, on the Margins tab, select 2 pages per sheet in the Multiple pages box. Click OK. Your document will look very tiny now because each regular page takes up only half of a sheet of paper. Make sure you are working in Print Layout view so that you can see each of the physical pages while you are working. To do this, select Print Layout from the View menu. Keep in mind that every two pages of text will print on a single sheet of paper.
4. Type your text on each small sheet of paper. If you are typing short poems or short stories, try to fit them on each small section.
5. To see how the final version will look when you print it, select Print Preview from the File menu. When you are ready, print the document. You will most likely cut the pages in half so that you can put the small booklet together.
