Profile Search By Phone Number?

[lcrawford]

Is there a way to search for a personal profile by phone number? I am using PC 11.0

You can display a report to the screen, such as the Selected Records in Family Mailing and search for the number. You will need to consider how it was entered (828) 555-1212 or 828-555-1212 or 828.555.1212.

Thanks. It would be awesome if searching by phone number was an option as is searching by first name, last name, address, etc.

I couldn't quite get there from what the Selected Records report....

But here is a work-around that worked for me.

I ran the Phone Number List under Reports-Family Mailing List, saved the file as an RTF (since I can't save as DOC; a different issue), then did a standard Edit->Find on the number I was searching for.

Hope this helps.

You shouldn't have to save the file as an RTF and open it in your word processor. The report preview has a search on it that will allow you to search for the phone number.

Thanks, Jeff!

Never having used that little icon, I was completely "blind" to it! So glad to know it is there!
