# Combining duplicate cards and information

If you have more than one address card for a single contact, you can easily combine them into one, while preserving all of the unique information.

## To find and merge duplicate cards:

1. Choose Card > "Look for Duplicate Entries."

   Address Book tells you if it finds duplicate cards, cards containing duplicated information, or both.

2. Click Merge to merge duplicate cards and remove redundant information on cards.

When Address Book merges duplicate cards, it creates a single card for the contact containing all of the unique information from each merged card. Address Book uses the picture from the merged card appearing first in the list.

To merge selected cards only, Command-click to select the cards you want to combine and choose Card > Merge Selected Cards. Address Book creates a single card using the name and picture of the selected card appearing first in the list.
