Hello Colin, I will try this approach again, but I am not optimistic. I think I will encounter the problem whenever I want to enter information for a brand-new contact.
I am beginning to wonder if there isn't an alternative third-party product for the Mac that would integrate seamlessly with the Address Book, once contacts were entered. I have developed a very high regard for the accessibility of native Mac programs, so the flaky nature of the Address Book and VO is surprising.
