How do I open a contact?

  3. Press ENTER on your keyboard, double-click the contact, or click Edit on the toolbar to open the contact.

You can select a group of adjacent contacts to open by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking the first contact, and then clicking the last contact to select all contacts in between. You can select multiple non-adjacent contacts by holding down the CTRL key and clicking each contact that you want to select. After you make your selections, press ENTER to open them.
