Jim: I'm actually replying to a message you sent Alan Zengel 10/13/2005 re:
Printing a group within Address Book, but I can't find that thread that I
first found last night 12/4.

You wrote:
"Creat a new wab file (Start/Run and type: WAB /new ) and give it a name and
location to save to. Open your existing WAB file in Outlook Express, click
on the Group you wish to print only, selecting all members Ctrl+A, followed
by Ctrl+C to copy them to the clipboard. Close the WAB and OE. Double
click your empty, new WAB file and in the Contacts area, click, then press
Ctrl+V to copy them from the clipboard to the new WAB file. You will have
to hit the Enter key to approve each entry but it beats typing them all in. "

I have created the new WAB file, and can copy individual contacts in the
main contact list from the current WAB file to the new one OK, but have not
succeeded in copying group-only contacts from the current file to the
clipboard and then pasting the clipboard info to the new WAB file. When
click on the group and follow the specified procedure, nothing happens. Same
if I double click on the group to show each entry, select all entries with
mouse & CTRL, then hit CTRL+C in the current WAB and then CTRL+V in the new
WAB.

Maybe relatedly, I can't get the clipboard to clear with the ESC key.
Contacts copied into the clipboard stay there (as tested by copying into a
Word file.)

Diagnosis and suggestions? Thanks,
