Inputting address on entourage

[Ali Barnes]

I'm wanting to input my contacts onto the address book in entourage. My
question/ problem is I'm not sure if a couple should be entered as two
separate contacts or together, and if together, do I enter both first names
in the first name line or enter one in the spouse line. I have two goals
ultimately. I would like to be able to print up mailing labels and have
them read: John and Susie Smith for example but also be able to list both
John and Susie's cell phone numbers and email addresses separately. In
addition, it is my understanding that I can sync my iphone with my address
book in entourage so I want to make sure that I can pull up the telephone
and email info. for each individual contact and I'm concerned I will not be
able to do this if they are listed as the same contact. Please help!

I would enter each individually then I would add a third contact with them
entered as both. You might assign a group for all of these dual contact
addresses. You could also use a category like "Holiday list" to the contacts
you want to use for your mailing labels.

This is an issue that has caused me some degree of consternation, as well.
There is real value in maintaining separate contacts (both in Entourage and
Address Book, if you sync them) for people that you likely email to
regularly. That makes the auto-fill much more useful. When you need to print
addresses you either have to manually edit one of the contacts or maintain a
separate "coupled" entry
