\"Find\"In MultiMailer<\/strong><\/a> it is possible to search after text in most of the lists in the program. For example, if you want to search for text in the mailing list (in the Mailing List<\/strong> tab), you can select the menu item Edit \u2013 Find<\/strong> or press the keys Ctrl F<\/strong>, and then type your search text in the dialog box that appears and click the Find<\/strong> button. MultiMailer will then search for and display the first line in the list where there is a match.<\/p>\n

This is the traditional way to search. However, there is another method that can be faster in some contexts. If you want to search in the first column of the list (the leftmost column) and you know the first letters of the text you want to search for, you can type the text directly without opening a search box.
\n\"Keyboard\"
\nIn MultiMailer, the first column usually contains email addresses, so if you type the first letters of the email address, MultiMailer automatically jumps to that row and selects it.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong>
\nSuppose you want to quickly jump to the email address ann.karlsson@samlogic.com<\/strong> in a list with email addresses:<\/p>\n

. . .
\nanita.andersson@abc.se
\nann.karlsson@samlogic.com
\nanna.svensson@blommor.se<\/strong>
\n. . .<\/p>\n

Then you just need to type the first letters of the email address, for example A N N<\/strong>, and that row will be highlighted. (You don’t need to press Enter<\/strong>, just type the letters.)<\/p>\n

\"Mailing<\/p>\n

Works also in Visual Installer<\/strong>
\nThe technique described above also works in Visual Installer<\/strong><\/a>. There it can for example be used to quickly find a specific file in the installation packages file list. You only need to enter the first letters of the filename, and you will have the row with the file selected in the file list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
