Hi Laura and Others; Outside of my address book, I want to make a staff listing for reference, a famile listing, a birthday and maybe a doctor listing. I may combine some but I surely want to keep staff sepporate. I was thinking of using word processor since most of my material is just for reference. What do you think?

That is what I did and now when I want to send a group message, I send a message to myself, and put everyone else in the bcc field. I simply hit the letter (a), then enter, then (b), etc. Just an idea. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "laura wolk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 19:03:31 -0500 (EST) >Subject: re: [Braillenote] setting up large groups >bravo Maria!! Very good idea. >The only thing I must caution, though, is that the bn has a number of email addresses it can process in the bcc, cc, and "also send to" fields. But, of course I can't remember the numbers. If I'm not mistaken, when you select records from the address list they are all tacked into the same field, instead of being dispersed among the various "copy" fields, so this may (probably will) cause the user some trouble if the number is great enough. >Good thinking!

On all the records you want to be part of a group, make a common field, such as putting in the same title for each "Title" field of the records in your group. Then, when writing an e-mail, at the "Send To?" prompt, press [BACKSPACE with L], [CONTROL with L] to look up records in KeyList. At the "Selection List for Address List" prompt, scroll down to the field in which you've written the common info for all in the group, and type in the appropriate info, then press ENTER to accept. You'll be told how many records were selected and asked if you wish to send to all selected records; you can answer yes, or answer no, and then browse through the records with the standard Move by Paragraph commands, pressing ENTER to select the records you wish. If you answered yes to send to all records which matched the look up, you'll be returned to the e-mail headers when all the names and e-mail addresses of the group have been en > t >> ered, at which point you can proceed with writing your e-mail; if you answered no, you have to exit the look up by pressing [SPACE with E], [ESCAPE] after you've finished selecting, and you will then be returned to the headers to continue writing the e-mail. >>HTH, >>Maria >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
