This chapter describes how to add contact information
stored in Address Book and vCards to a Numbers table.
Address Book elds are a rich source of names, phone numbers, addresses, and
other data for people. You can use Address Book data to quickly create tables that
consolidate information you need for business contacts, personal friends, holiday
correspondents, and so on.
Using Address Book Fields
You can insert data from Address Book elds into Numbers tables. You can also insert
data from a virtual address card (vCard) that someone has sent you.
When a table has a header row containing names that match Address Book or vCard
eld names, you can add contact data by dragging cards to the table. You can also
create a new table by dragging cards to the canvas.
