Thank you for responding so quickly.  Your request forced me to take another,
closer look.  It turns out that the address book checkbox was not ticked.  This
is something easy to miss as I spent both considerable time and frustration
over this.  

May I suggest a minor change be made to save others the time and aggravation I
spent?  Simply make the default to "pre-tick" any/all address books.  Figuring
out how to "turn it off" is both easier and less critical than figuring out how
to turn it on.  

If I can't find the contact info. I can't get my work done and I'm going to
assume it's broken - clearly I did assume that.  If I can't figure out how to
turn it off - I can still get work done.

New users are always going to want to see the information they're entering to
confirm things are working.  It's trivial for an experienced user to turn off
an address book they don't want to see - so again, the default should be to see
everything without any extra effort.

Thanks for your time and consideration.
