Merging Contacts

It’s possible that you have two or more versions of the same contact, because you have the profile of the contact on different email accounts or social networks. Normally, your HTC 8X will combine those contact profiles by itself, but in case you still have contacts that are not combined, you can easily link them manually.

1. In the all contacts list – tap one of the contacts that has duplicates entries.
2. Then tap the link icon.
3. Now you can either:

• link the contact with one of the contacts under suggested links (in some cases this may not be available)
• tap to choose a contact and after that look for the one it’s liked to and tap it.

Unlinking the Contacts

1. In the all contacts list – tap the desired contact.
2. Now tap the link icon showing the number of links.
3. Under linked profiles select the contact that you want to unlink.
4. Tap unlink.

Creating a Document in Office

1. From the Start screen, slide your finger right to the Apps screen.
2. Tap Office.
3. Tap the plus sign (+).
4. Select the type of document that you want to create.
5. Compose your document.
6. If you want to change the color of the font, tap the format icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
7. Under font color – select the color that you want to use.

Using the HTC Live Tile

2. In case this is your first time using HTC Live, you will see a prompt asking your permission to enable certain features that will make use of your location – tap allow.

4. To view the news screen – swipe right one more time.
5. To return to the weather screen – swipe right again.
6. To return to the Start screen, press the Windows key – your HTC Live should now be active.

Finding Wi-Fi Hotspots in Maps
