We
sometimes get questions about how to move the cursor in a
mailing list in
MultiMailer without loosing the selections or how to select
individual contacts in the mailing list without having other
selections disappear. Some also wonder if you can open one
contact's contact dialog box without losing the other selections
in the mailing list.
Below we
will provide answers to these questions as well as some other
related tips.
How to browse through a mailing list with the keyboard without
losing selections
Hold down
the CTRL key while pressing the up or down
arrow on your keyboard and the selections will remain in the
mailing list as you move up or down with the cursor. Home
and End can also be used to jump to the first or last in
the mailing list without the selections disappearing, if CTRL
is pressed at the same time.
How to select a contact / several contacts without other
selections disappear
Press
CTRL and space at the same time and you can select a contact
without affecting other selections. You can also remove a
selection in this way (if you press CTRL + space on a selected
contact).
The same thing can also be done with the mouse by holding down
CTRL and clicking on the left mouse button.
How to open a contact when duplicates are marked
If you
press the F8 key on your keyboard, all duplicates in the
mailing list will be selected and marked. If you want to open
the contact's contact dialog box without the selections
disappear, you can do it in one of the following two ways:
-
Hold down CTRL when scrolling through the mailing list
and when you are over the correct contact with the cursor, press
Enter.
-
Right-click with the mouse over the contact you want to examine
closer and select the Edit Recipient menu option in the
menu that is opened.
However, it is very easy to re-select the duplicates again by
pressing the F8 key again; so if you prefer to
double-click on a contact to display its contact information,
you can work in this way too.
The easiest way to repeat the last selection operation
In
MultiMailer, you can select contacts in the mailing list in many
different ways. Especially in the More Selection Options
sub menu in the Edit menu, there are many selection
functions available. If you need to repeat the previous
selection function, you do not need to open the menu again; you
just need to press the F9 key. Then the selection
function you used last is repeated.
How to select all contacts in a mailing list in the fastest
possible way
To select
all entries in the mailing list quickly, just press CTRL - A.
