We have many tips and tricks in this chapter to help you enter names so that they can

TIP: Finding Restaurants
Whenever you enter a restaurant into your Contact list, make sure to put the word ''Restaurant''
into the company name field, even if it's not part of the name. Then when you type the letters
''rest'' you should instantly find all your restaurants!
