The program gives you the capability to add any other information about a contact person to the additional information area (the “General” tab).

This area looks like a table with multi-line information input support. By default, the table consists of the list of most frequently used fields. However, you can change the fields’ titles, add or remove fields (use “Add new field” and “Remove field” buttons), as well as change the fields’ order (use “Move up” and “Move down” buttons).

When you click the  “Add new field” button, the dialog box will be opened:

In this window you can select one of two field types: "Text" or "Date". In the text field you can keep any text information. In the date field you can enter the date. Also this field type supports the reminders.

You can save your own fields list as a template and use it when adding new records into the Address Book.

Mark the fields you would like to use as the record’s title. A title will then be created automatically.

The "Description” tab contains a field you can enter any text in.

This field supports rich text formatting (RTF), pictures, tables and hyperlink insertion. See “Working with text and descriptions” chapter for details.
