  • This is the main Phone Book PRO 97 interface:
    You have fields for just every information you could think of about a specific person: Last name, first name, Civic address, 6 phones (personal, fax, pager, cellular, work), E-Mail address, Web site address, Birthday, Free form comments

     

  • Another panel (there are three of them : Personal, Supplementary and Business) :
    On the business panel, the information is more work-oriented, that is, what company is your contact working at, where that company is, its phone numbers, general e-mail address and web site.
    There is a third panel "Supp." which lets you specify the person's title, profession, sex, and attributes (for example: family, friend, accounting department, whatever you like, they're custom!)

     

  • Let's now see what it looks like when you want to print or preview a Phone Book:

    I have a lot of personal and professional contacts and usually have their information written on scraps of paper, or else I have lots of business cards to manage. Idyle Phone Book Pro 97 is an easy to use Windows 95 or NT address book that keeps track of all that messy information.

  • If your anything like me then you probably have a desk full of post it notes, messages, and scraps of paper with phone numbers and address's all over. Total chaos and disorder, finding anything is darn near impossible. What you need to organize this hell is a good address book. The problem is that most of the PIM's out there today are just electronic versions of a regular old pen and paper PIM you might find at Staples or Office Depot. They don't really offer anything to differentiate themselves and take advantage of the medium they use. Phone Book97 on the other hand understands that the internet is becoming a big part of how many people works and integrates many nice features to let you totally organize your addresses, phone #'s, and internet information into one neat package.
