The Church Offices field is designed to store information about a person's responsibilities in the church. You are provided a set of default menu choices for the Offices Menu when you first create a CMD file. You may modify any or all of these 300 possible menu choices, however, by using the Menus Item choice on the Preferences Menu. You may also modify the Offices list of choices by clicking the Edit Offices Pick List button on the dialog used to display and pick offices.

Since it is likely that a person may hold more than one office, CMD allows you to store as many offices a person holds that you would like. The offices associated with a person will be listed in the dialog where the selections are made, and then listed in the top, center portion of the Individuals Data area when the Offices label is selected.

Making Your Selections

To select offices for a name, make sure the Offices label is displayed in bold letters. If it's not, click directly on the word Offices to select the Offices field. Next click the Click Here to Add Items button at the top of the list, which is located just to the right of the Offices, Talents, Activities, User 1, and User 2 fields. This will bring up a selection dialog that will allow you to add or remove offices from the list.

To add an item, highlight it on the left column and then click the Add Picks to (Name's) Selections button. Note that you can hold Ctrl to highlight more than one, and you can also hold the Shift key to select a range of choices.

If you wish to remove an office from a person's list, click on the item in the right column labeled (Name's) Selections and then click the Remove Selected Item button.
