What is MacPhonebook?

MacPhonebook is a very nice address manager and printer although not as ambitious as DynoDex, which I described last month, It's best feature is its ability to print address books — in three sizes. The books are correctly paginated so that you simply fold the pages together and staple them at the center. The program can handle up to 1,600 names and addresses, with three phone numbers to an entry.

MacPhonebook's greatest weakness is that it has a limited sorting ability — it can sort only by using the first letters in the Name field. So if you need to sort by last name, the last name must be first in the data. Not all the information you'll want to import will be in that format, and this requirement seriously limits the program's ability to import files delimited by tabs or carriage returns.

Address books can be in directory size (8.5 x 11 inches), pocket book size (5.5 x 8.5 inches), or Little Black Book size (2.75 x 4.25 inches). Two sturdy black covers are provided for your Little Black Books. This program is excellent for people who must constantly update their phone books,

(As we went to press, Synex expected to release MacPhonebook 2.0, which will feature improved sorting and greatly expanded import capabilities — Ed.)
