			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;">When using groups in the Address Book, you may want to see which contacts are not assigned to any of your groups. This is a pretty convoluted method but until Apple provide a smart group option in Address Book to accommodate this requirement, you can do the following:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;">Backup your Address Book by selecting <strong>File</strong> then <strong>Backup Address Book</strong></span></li>
<li>Create a new group and call it anything you like (I suggest &#8220;Z&#8221;)</li>
<li>Select all of your contacts and drag them in to this new group</li>
<li>Click on your first existing group (let&#8217;s pretend it is called <em>Group1</em>) and select all of its contacts (<strong>Command-a</strong>)</li>
<li>Click on the <em>Z</em> group and you will notice that only the contacts you have just selected are highlighted</li>
<li>Press <strong>Tab</strong> once to switch focus to the <em>Name</em> column</li>
<li>Hit the <strong>Delete</strong> key and then click the <strong>Remove From Group</strong> button</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;">At this point, you have a group called <em>Z</em> which contains all your contacts <span style="text-decoration: underline;">except</span> those listed in <em>Group1</em>. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 for all your remaining groups and you will end up with group Z containing only those contacts not assigned to any other groups. </span></p>
