Drag card from Address Book adds a row?

I have a small table in an estimating spreadsheet into which I can drag a card from AddressBook.app. That populates the table with name, address, etc., providing info that is picked up elsewhere in the file. In my old template, this worked fine. But I must have changed something (or perhaps it's just the new Numbers '09 update) because now when I drag a card, Numbers inserts a new row to hold the card's info, pushing everything on the page down to make room.
Does anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can turn that "feature" off? Thanks!

More on this subject: As a test, I dragged a single V-card from Address Book into a blank area of a spreadsheet. As it's supposed to, Numbers created a table with all the card's information.
I then deleted the data but left the header row exactly as Numbers created it. Then I dragged the same V-card back onto the now-blank cells. This time, it added TWO new rows. One above the data and one below.
Weird behavior, eh? Anyone else seeing this kind of thing happening?

  • Dragging card from Address Book adds a row?

    I have a small table onto which I can drag client info from their Address Book card. This automatically populates other fields throughout my worksheet with the correct information.
    But when I do this, Numbers adds a new row to the bottom of that little table, which pushes other tables down the page. It did not used to behave this way, but I don't know what changed.
    Is it possible to lock the number of rows in a particular table?
    Or is there another way to make this work without Numbers adding a new row each time?
    Thanks.

    Thank you, Yvan. There is a blank row available into which I'm dragging the V-card. That's why I'm surprised it's adding a new one. I have checked to make sure it's actually blank, too. I can't see any content there at all. In my tests (if you check the link above) you'll see that I even created a completely new table in which to test this. And got the same (or weirder) results.

  • Adding my card from Address book

    Does anyone know how to add My Card from Address book to my signature everytime you send an email from mail? I'm migrating from Windows and outlook.

    When creating a signature you can drag n drop your vcard onto the window.
    Mail--> preferences--> signatures click the + sign create your signature and drag n drop your vcard.
    Then from the drop down menu at the bottom of the signature windon choose your default signature.
    Then it will add that file every time you add your signature to your message.

  • Unable to export v-card from Address Book

    After installation of OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    There is an addon which can help.
    MoreFunctionsForAddressBook.
    * https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
    Download file to desktop or downloads file.
    In Thunderbird
    Tools > Addons
    or
    Menu icon > addons
    click on gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
    locate the file you downloaded and click on Open
    You will need to restart Thunderbird at prompt.
    In 'Address Book'
    right click on contact in list and select 'Send as vcard'.
    If you want to add more than one vcard:
    Press Ctrl key and select contacts to highlight, then right click on highlighted contacts and select Send as vcard'.
    This opens a new Write message with that contact(s) added as vcard attachment(s).
    There is also the option from the 'Contacts Sidebar' in a new Write window, but I'm not having any success from this method at this moment...maybe it will work for others...perhaps due to a bug, but I've reported it the author. At least it still works via Address Book.

  • TRYING TO PRINT ROLODEX CARDS FROM ADDRESS BOOK

    HELP PLEASE,
    I AM TRYING TO PRINT A LIST FORM ON AVERY 5386 ROLODEX CARDS AND I SIMPLY CAN NOT CONFIGURE THE SETTING TO WORK. I CAN GE THE MAILING LABELS PRINTED BUT NOT ALL THE LIST INFO I NEED. ANY IDEAS.

    I worked on this some more and figured out how to get my files into Word and hence onto the Rolodex cards:
    *under Preferences in Address Book choose Vcard, change to 2.1 and keep Western text
    *export chosen cards to desktop from File dropdown (remember to return your Preferences Vcard setting to 3.0)
    *Open Word
    *choose open document and import Vcard file, you get a long list which you will then have to modify (I put returns for the Begin Vcard text to seperate cards), choose the lines you want printed, format text, size, etc
    *following rolodex printer card instructions you can merge your formated data and print!
    Yay, finally. Why doesn't Apple allow this simple type of programability, even labels have been a chore for me.

  • New Mail program will not let me drag groups from address book to email

    The new Mail program will not allow me to drag groups of addresses from the Address Book like I could before upgrading.  Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?  What is the fix on this problem?

    I can live with clicking TO:  but I don't know why you cannot drag it like you used to ...

  • How do I permanently remove cards from Address Book that syncs to iCloud?

    I've tried deleting the cards from my desktop version, but when it resyncs with iCloud they all reappear.

    I have this problem too. Tried Csound1's suggestion, but it shows me that there is only 1 contact in iCloud, mine! Trying to edit that in iCloud also doesn't work. Tried to remove duplicate email addresses but as soon as I click done, they return
    I just  don't understand what's happened to the Address Book I used to have when I was using previous systems.
    This is very confusing, are you saying that on the iCloud website, in Contacts there is only 1 card? yes or no please and refer to the website only

  • ICal Forcing Invites After Dragging Contact From Address Book

    Every since the update to Mac OS X 10.6.5 and the latest MobileMe calendar update, when I drag a contact over from the address book to iCal it forces me to invite them to the meeting and sends out a meeting request. I only do this so that it links the person to the event so when I use my iPhone and select the event, I can then select the person and it will then link me to their contact info. Sure, the invite option is a nice feature but some of these invites would be unsolicited. In the past I was able to just click "don't send" or something similar and avoid the invite. Now it seems as if I don't have a choice. Can someone acknowledge this nuance? In addition, has anyone found a workaround?

    I have the same problem and not found a comparable workaround either.
    If I want to create an iCal event that lists invitees but does not send them an invitation, the only thing I can do is to put their name into the notes section instead of the invitee section. However, names can not link from the notes section... but phone numbers and addresses can on the iPhone. I can then call or map them from the notes section.
    It is not a pretty fix, and by no means comparable, but it is the best alternative of which I know.

  • Is it possible to print a 3 x 5 card from address book?

    I have been trying to print 3x5 cards identical to the on screen card in my address book program. I am using Leopard on my new IMac. When I try, I get only some of the fields showing up even though I chose all the fields and numbers are always printed vertically, no matter whether I choose to print letter format or landscape. I spoke to someone at Apple, and they were no help.
    Thank you,
    sophie

    sophie,
    You must have made a wrong turn somewhere. This is the Pages discussion group. You'll want to ask your question in the Address Book group.

  • How can I efficiently bulk delete cards from Address Book?

    Hi,
    I'm using Scripting Bridge to do bulk updates to Address Book. 
    In doing this, I've discovered that deleting cards is extremely slow.  Is there anything that I can do that would allow me to delete many cards efficiently?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Printing Avery Cards From Address Book

    This topic was raised in 2006 and left unanswered and archived.
    My wife won't use Address Book ( computer-challenged-she can't even open Mail--so it's set up to start each morning), and insists on using small Avery Rotary Cards (#5385) for names/phone numbers.
    So, to make my life easier, I want to print out the Address Book on Avery Cards. I have followed instructions about selecting cards > printing labels/envelopes and I can get to the point of printing Avery labels, but #5385 isn't in the list as it's a card, and none of the previews show that any Avery label will include the telephone number, which is one of the main purposes of paper rotary cards in a rolodex.
    How can I do it? (iMac iSight G5 (PowerPC), OS 10.4.11, address book 4.0.6)
    thanks

    See if this Avery software (freeware) will do what you want.

  • Printing problem from Address Book

    This is driving me crazy. I am printing envelopes for Christmas cards from Address Book and I was trying the different options for printing my home address on the envelope (selecting a different font from the default and selecting a photo as an image to be included). I've now concluded I don't want to include any image when printing my home address but now can't figure out how to get rid of it. In the print menu it has a "set" button for the image, but it just takes you to a finder window to select a new image, but I can't see how to select no image at all. Can anyone help?

    Hi, I had the same problem. I solved it by selecting a spacer.gif image. This is an image of 1 white pixel. This was the only way I could think of and works fine.

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

    If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • Drag and drop Contact from Address Book to Pages Document on iPad

    On OS X MacBook and iMac I can use Drag and drop Contact functionality from Address Book directly on a Pages document. In Pages I have setup Merge fields to merge values from my Contacts. This works great!
    I would also like to use this in Pages on my iPad mini. I know Pages on iOS are different from Pages for OS X, but I wonder if there is any possibility for me to open OS X created Pages document with Merge fields on iPad's Pages and replace existing Contacts values with new one from Address Book?
    It seems like Pages on iOS even don't recognise Merge fields that I have created on OS X at all.

    Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?
