Creating Files and Contacts Manually
To create a file manually:
1. Choose File→New. An Untitled file opens.
2. Save the file as described in “Saving Your Contacts” on page 3-8.
To create a contact manually:
1. Click the button on the Toolbar. A blank contact appears in Edit view.
2. Type contact information in the appropriate fields. If the file has been
saved before, CardScan saves the new contact automatically. If the file
has not been saved before, save it as described next.
Creating Contacts by Dragging and Dropping
Text from Emails and Electronic Documents
You can create contacts in a CardScan file by selecting text in another
application then dragging and dropping it into List view. This is useful for
creating contacts from emails or electronic letters.
To add a contact to a CardScan file:
1. Open a CardScan file and display it in List view.
2. Open the other application, and size the windows to see both
simultaneously.
3. In the other application, highlight the text to copy.
4. Hold the mouse button down and drag the highlighted information to List
view in CardScan. Release the mouse button.
The new contact appears in CardScan.
If the selected text contains a blank line, CardScan creates two
contacts. To avoid this, remove the blank line before dragging the text
into CardScan.
