Option Key tip #4: Address
Book Groups

You probably know that
Apple's Address Book
lets you create "Groups" of people, and you
might also know that a given person can be in
multiple groups. For example, you might have a Family
group, a Soccer Team group, and a Christmas Card
group, and your brother might be in all three of
them. That's pretty neat, but unless you have an
incredible memory
there's no way you're going
to remember which groups your brother is in.
And there's no indication in the Address Book that a
given person is in any group at all, let alone an
indication of which one(s).
Unless of course you hold down the Option
key. Of course.
In the picture below I've found a person's card,
clicked on it in the "Name" column, and then held
down the Option key. That produces the yellow
highlighting, letting me know in an instant that Mom
is in the "Mass email list" group, the "test group"
group, and the "California" group. Let's face it,
that's pretty cool.
And that's four.
