  What is a Contact?
  A Contact is an address that is stored in your My Address Book.

Contacts can be used to build Mailing Lists to automatically fill in names and addresses of people / recipients you would like to send out your cards to, saving you time and effort.

Each contact address can contain up to 5 names of the people/recipients that live at that same address e.g. Mr John Smith, Mrs Amanda Smith, their daughter Sarah Smith, their son Thomas Smith and even their pet dog Sandy Smith! These names don't have to be family members they could just as easily be flatmates. Each name is entered separately while the address is duplicated.
   
  How do I add a contact address to 'My Address Book?
  Log into My Account and select My Address Book from the left hand
navigation menu.
  Select ADD NEW CONTACT

  A tick will appear to let you know that this contact address has successfully been saved to your 'My Address Book'.

You may now enter a New Contact by clicking onto ADD NEW CONTACT button

Or you can add other individuals to the same address such as Partners, Dependents or Housemates.

  How do I edit a contact name and address?
  If you wish to edit the details of a particular contact address you can do this from two places;
 
- Within your Mailing List
  Open the mailing list from My Account and find the contact address you wish to change. Click on the edit spanner icon against the relevant contact address. This then opens up the contact address page, where you can edit the address and names of the recipients within this contact address. Then click the (SAVE changes button). Once saved these details will be permanently changed and applied wherever this contact address appears in any Mailing List and also in the Main Contact Address in My Address Book.
   
- From My Address Book in My Account
  In My Address Book every contact address you have created is listed. Find the contact you wish to edit ? click on the icon spanner. This opens up the modification page, where you can edit the address and names of the contacts within this contact address. Then click the (SAVE changes button). Your action is now complete.
   
  ALL Contacts in My Address Book are linked to Mailing Lists. Any amendment made to a contact that is in your Address Book, which also appears in a Mailing List, will be automatically updated.

NB. However, any changes made to the contacts <FORMALNAME> or <FRIENDLYNAME> in a Mailing List Advanced Features, breaks the link with the ¡ÆMy Address Book¡Ç list and the change to the contact will only be for that particular Mailing List and will remain unchanged in the Address Book.
