Work address and home address

S

swp.0907

When I did data transfer from my old pc to my new mac, all of the
addresses got designated as work addresses when, in fact, they are
home addresses. Is there an easy way to change them all without doing
each one manually. I have over 1,000 addresses.

Here's one, based on a script posted some time ago by Paul Berkowitz:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set default postal address of every contact to work
beep
display dialog "All done!"
end tell

Copy the above text, paste it into Script Editor (in your Applications
folder) and save it as a script. Put it into ~/Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Entourage Script Menu Items. When you now open Entourage, click on the
black scroll icon in the menu bar and select the script you've just created.

Hi Diane,

this script changes the default address from "home" to "work", but the way I
understand the OP's problem, the addresses changed from home address to work
address in every single case.

[email protected], how exactly did you proceed when you exported
your contacts from your PC? Which software was involved?
