-      Type "Eva Lucianne Tester" into the <guilabel>Full

-      As</guilabel> field also fills up, but in reverse: Tester,
-      Lucianne.  You can pick "Eva Tester" from the drop-down, or, if
-      you prefer, type in your own, such as "Lucianne Tester, Eva".  I
-      suggest that you don't enter something entirely different from
-      the actual name, however.  You might forget that you've filed
-      Eva's information under "F" for "Fictitious Helix Code

-      The other feature I want to mention involves the little squares
-      next to several of the fields.  Click on them and you'll get a
-      menu of different labels; for the fields in the telephone
-      section, it's a long list involving things like
-      <guilabel>Home</guilabel>, <guilabel>Home 2</guilabel>,
-      <guilabel>Other Fax</guilabel>, and <guilabel>Pager</guilabel>.
-      Select from among them to determine which four telephone numbers
-      to display at any given time.  Of course, these connected times
-      mean that people often have more than four telephone numbers.
-      You can display only four in the editor, but
-      <application>Evolution</application> can remember them all for
-      you.  When you click the little square button for the list of

+       Any time you add new information to a card, whether it's an old
+       card you're editing or a new card you're just adding to your
+       address book, you'll use the contact editor.  To change a card
+       that already exists, just double click it to open the contact
+       editor window with all the current information already filled
+       in.  If you want to create a new one, clicking the
+       <guibutton>New Card</guibutton> button will open up that same
+       window, but with empty fields instead of full ones.  Either
+       way, it's the same tool for quite similar tasks, and you'll
+       find that it's pretty flexible and can store quite a lot more
+       than you'd think would fit onto a file card.
