FastAddress uses custom3 and custom4 fields to store the information of priority and frequency of use. As a result, you will lose all of the information you stored in custom3 and custom4 fields. To avoid information loss, please go to original Address Book, copy custom3 and custom4 to custom1 and custom2 fields or note field.

To upgrade from any early version before v1.03 to current version (v1.03) or higher, you have to delete FADB from your Palm before installing version 1.03 or higher, otherwise it may crash your Palm. Since the registration information is saved in FADB, so you need to re-register using the same registration code after you delete FADB.

  Launch: You can select which list, Regular List (see Fig. 1b) or Detail list (Fig. 1a) should be launched when you run Fast AddressBook.

  Sort Order: There are two sort orders to sort your addresses, Ascending and Descending. When you select sorting records by "Frequency of use", you'd better select "Descending" as sort order so that the recently used and most used addresses will appear at the top of the list. If you select "Ascending" as sort order, recently used and most used addresses will appear at the bottom of the list.

  Sort By: You can sort the records by Frequency of use, priority, Company, Last name, First name, Display phone, Address, City, State, Zip code and Country.

  List By: It determines how addresses are displayed in Regular List view (Fig. 1b). It works for Regular List only. Detail List view (Fig. 1a) displays Last Name, First Name and Company in one line, all of phone numbers, email addresses and Fax are displayed in the following lines.

• Search: Input search string in the lookup field (Fig. 2) to search. Search is case sensitive, records contain the search string will be displayed on the screen. You can specify which field (see Fig. 4a) is going to be searched or you can search all of fields by selecting "All" from the popup list (see Fig. 4a).

For those most used search key words, you can save them into key word list and select them from a popup list (Fig. 4b) when you need to use them. The more a key word in the list is used, the higher priority it has.

To save a search key word, input the key word in the lookup field, check to see if the search result is what you want, then click "+" button to add the key word into key word list. There are two cases:

One, the key word you are going to add does not exist in the list. The key word will be added into the list, its position is determined by the priority of other key words in the list. If other key words in the list are used frequently (have higher prority), then the new key word will be added at the end part of the list. If other key words have lower prority, then the new key word will be added at the top part of the list.

Two, if the key word already exist in the list, it will move toward top of the list (it will have higher priority).

• Set Top Record: When you make a phone call using calling card, you need dial connection number first, and then dial the phone number. It is very inconvenient if you use the original Address Book since you need switch back and forth between two records. FastAddress solves this problem for you. You can set a top record by tapping on the "Top" button at Address View screen (see Fig. 5a). Then switch to Detail list screen, this record will sit on the top and then you can search the phone number you want to call (see Fig. 5b). You can cancel top record by select menu item "Cancel Top Record" (see Fig. 5c)

• Set Priority: You can assign priority to each address record (see Fig. 6). After you assign priority to an address, you can search and sort address book by priority.
