Associating skype contacts with address book

contactsskype

After installation of new Skype version for Mac, each time I search for a contact – it gives me few choices for one person:

  • the skype contact;
  • the contact from address book with phone number

Is there a way to merge these two contacts into one? Maybe by adding custom field to address book or by defining same phone number in skype contact entry?

Any guides are much appreciated!

your mac uses your Address Book as its basis for your contacts (skype is reaching in your contact list to pull people up not the other way around). So your Address Book really is the place where you emerge all of your contacts because other applications can use it to pull up contacts so you dont have to manually transfer all of your contacts to an application that might require them.
