+<chapter><title>Contacts</title>
+<para>
+Contacts is a way to keep track of all the people you know, and how to contact
+them.  as well as other information, such as their birthday, the company they
+work for, etc.

+<section><title>Adding Contacts</title>
+<para>
+To Add a user, go to
+<GUImenu>Contact</GUImenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Add</GUIMenuItem>,
+or click the add icon in the toolbar (looks like a blank piece of paper).
+First, you need to give the person a name. You can do this by either entering
+their name in the name field, or by pressing "Full Name...", which will open
+up a new dialog that lets you enter each part of their name individually. Three
+of the entry fields have pulldown menus instead of labels that let you set which
+parameter these input fields control. The File As field lets you control how
+their name is displayed in the main view, use the pulldown arrow to select from
+some common ways of ordering their first and last names, or type in a custom
+one. You can also select a category for the user to be filed under, and clicking
+the button labeled "..." lets you edit the available catagories (these are
+convinient for displaying just the contacts you want when you have a lot of
+them).
+</para>
+<para>
+The address tab lets you edit the contact's buisness and home addresses (select
+which one you want to change from the pulldown menu at the top). The bottom
+field behaves just like the three custom fields in the "General" tab (and if
+you select the same thing from the pulldown list, it will modify the same
+parameter).
+</para>
+<para>
+The Details tab is used for miscelaneous things like the person's position, the
+name of their spouse, etc.
+</para>
+<para>
+When you are done, click "Ok" in the top right of the screen (you can always
+edit their profile later), click the "x" to cancel, and not add the contact.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Editing Contacts</title>
+<para>
+To edit the contacts, select the person you want to edit, anc click the pencil
+icon, or go to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Edit</GUIMenuItem>,
+and it will open up the same dialog used to add a user, except their information
+that is already entered will already be filled in. To finalise the changes,
+click "Ok", or to cancel them, click "x".
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Deleting Contacts</title>
+<para>
+To delete a contact, select the person from the list of contacts, and click the
+trash can icon, or go to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>
+&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Delete</GUIMenuItem>.  A dialog will pop up asking if you
+want to actually delete that contact, click yes to delete it, no will cancel.
+</para>
+</section>

+<section><title>Editing Contacts</title>
+<para>
+To find a specific person, click the find icon (green magnifying glass), or go
+to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem>. A dialog
+will pop up, and in the "Find what" input, enter the string you want to search
+for. You can also select if you want the search to be case sensative, and if you
+want it to search backwards from the currently selected user. The Category drop
+down menu lets you search only a specific category ("All" to search all of
+them).  When you click "Find", it will start search for the string in all the
+fields in all the contacts. When it finds a match, it will highlight the user in
+the main view.  You can use this to search for (as an example) who a certain
+phone number belongs to, by entering the phone number in the "find what" field,
+and clicking "Find".
+</para>
+</section>

+<section><title>Viewing Contacts</title>
+<para>
+To view only the contacts in a certain category, go to the View menu, and check
+the categories you want to view.
+</para>
+<para>
+The list of letters on the bottom of the window lets you look at only the
+contacts who's names begin with that letter. These work much like entering text 
+on a mobile phone. For example, to view all the contacts whos name starts with
+"B", press the "ABC" group twice (since "B" is the second letter in that 
+group). To go back to displaying all of the letters, click it two more times
+(pressing it four times brings you back to all the letters, so you pressed it 2 
+times to get to "B" and 2 more times to get back to all letters. 2+2=4).

+<GUIMenuItem>My Personal Details</GUIMenuItem>. This is used in today to
+display who the device belongs to, as well as other apps.
