Neil,

In the "Card" menu there are two helpful commands: 

"Look for Duplicate Entries" will tell you how many it finds and offer to merge them. I don't let it because of multiple cards like my public and private card and my husband's, too. But at least I know how many I'm looking for. hmmm, I could drop copies of those on the desktop and put them back when the merge is done.

"Merge Selected Cards" will do the job when you find two or more yourself. 


I have an address Book question. Is there a reason there is no entry for Skype or Gizmo or a way to customize that info in the Address Book?
