Making a call by searching for a contact
using the Dial dialog box
You can search for a contact by name or number using
the Dial dialog box. The search method differs depending
on the Search Option you are using.
If you have the Search Option set to Fast Search, Personal
Call Manager compares the name or number you enter in
the Call field to the contacts stored in the Address Book
as you enter it.
If you have the Search Option set to Slow Search,
Personal Call Manager only searches for your contact
when you click on the Find Now button. In either case,
contacts that match your criteria appear in the bottom
area of the dialog box.
To use the Dial dialog box:
1 Click on the Personal Call Manager task tray icon or
the Calls menu. (See The task tray icon on page 55.)
2 Click on the Manual Dial menu item. The Dial dialog
box appears. (You can also open the Dial dialog box
by pressing the F3 key.)
3 Enter the telephone number as it appears in the
Address Book (e.g., [phone]...) or name (in
the format: last name, first name) of the person you
want to call in the upper left text field. If you are doing
a Slow Search, click on the Find Now button when
you want the search to begin. If you are doing a Fast
search, matching contacts appear as you enter charac-
ters.
