Address Ex is the address book portion of ReadyToPrint Organizer 4 for users who don't need the calendar features.
Address Ex includes all the features in RTPO 4 with the addition of network multi-user capabilities. In addition Address Ex can print smaller address
book up to 4 forms per sheet. We are currently planning to add these capabilities to ReadyToPrint Organizer as well.
Address Ex capabilities include:
In addition this program uses two
different GUI's. The first GUI (explorer
mode) is similar to Windows File Explorer. You have the ability to
select multiple contacts for moving to different groups or sending email

you edit contacts more easily.
Other features:

Changes from
version 4.11,4.12:
Fixed problems with labels and envelopes.
Version 4.11 had a bug where sometime it would not record a contact. We
recommend you upgrade to a higher version even if you didn't have this
problem.
Version 4.0: new interface, LDAP,
file sync support, multi-user support, application name has been changed
from Address Express to Address Ex.
Version 2.0, 3.0: never released!
File merge/synchronization:
This feature is useful for people
on the road.
For example, you are editing a copy
of the address book on your laptop computer and you have also worked on
a different address book on a different computer. Now both files may include
new or updated contacts. File synchronize option lets you add the two files
together so that they are both up to date.
Multi-user
support:
You need to install Address Ex on
both computers on the network. Address Ex does not require any additional
software (such as database servers) for networking. You can configure Address
to read an address book over the network.
For example, F:\Shared Data\Shared
Contacts.adx
Where F is a mapped
network drive. Read/Write access will depend on network settings.
Printing:
As in previous versions you can print
the address book in different format. Or print labels and envelopes. Version
4 lets you select which contacts or which group of contacts you want to
print.
Send email to
multiple recipients:
In Explorer mode, select several contacts
(press the control key and click on different contacts), then right click
the mouse and choose send email. You need to specify what is your default
email program.
With some email programs this feature
may be limited and you can send email to no more 20 addresses at a time.
LDAP (Directory
Servers):
Double Click on Directory Server Node,
Select a server, example ldap.bigfoot.com
Type in a name and press Enter. Address
Ex should be able to display a list of names that match. You may also right
click on the contact and add it to your address book.
Importing Contacts:
Most address books/information managers
support CSV address book import and export.
First, open your other program and
export your data
Second, Select "Personal Contacts"
or any other Address Ex address book (ADX format).
Click on the File menu, click File->Import->Text
File (comma separated values)
Step 1: ACME Contact Manager exports
to mycontacts.csv
Step 2: Address Ex imports
from mycontacts.csv
Address Ex will probably have a different
format
For example, ACME Contact Manager
may
have these fields:
FirstName, LastName, ...
But Address Ex use different
names:
First Name, Last Name, ...
You have to examine these field names
and match them.

Address Ex hold up to 10,000 contacts
