Find contact Click on “Find” and filter the types you want to display on the Contact List. Use Find to limit the contacts to be displayed to a particular “Account Type”. Leave the buttons set to “Both” and “All” to show everyone.
New Contact Click on “New Contact”. A dialog will display asking you if you wish to create the new contact using the Quick Entry Wizard or to Create an Empty Contact.
