Automatically copy new contacts to a folder

[m. bean]

Is there any way to automatically copy newly created
contacts to a specific folder as they are made?

I have my contacts in folders by business type, etc., but
would also like all contacts in one folder for easier
access.

Okay, but that only moves it to a different folder, like
dragging. What I'm trying to do is create 2 copies of a
contact: One in a folder by business, one in a general
rolodex type folder that holds all my contacts. Is there
any better way to do this than copy and paste?

The problem with copy and paste is that I know I will
sometimes forget to update the folders, and I won't have
all my contacts in my general folder.

Instead of using Save and Close, try using File | Move to

Folder to save and close the new contact.

Copy once, then move.

Why not put everything in one folder and use a category to distinguish the business contacts?

Another option could be to save contacts by categories instead of by
folders. To do this you can do the following:

1. Select all folders in a particular contact book. Right click on one
of the contacts and choose Categories. Add your new category to the
Master List and choose it or pick from the default list. Each contact
can have more than one Category.
2. Drag all those contacts into the main category book.
3. When you want to view a particular category go to View, Current
View, By Category.

This will allow you to view groups but when you update you will only
have to update one contact instead of updating it in a couple
different address book.

Hope this helps
