I have several address books. How do I make my everyday address book the default when I go to 'Write'? At present it comes up with 'All Address Books'

That is, currently, how it's designed to work. It's the developers' interpretation of requests for the ability to search all address books.

I don't think they anticipated so many users perusing the Address Book. Many, if not most "power users" never look at the Address Book, but use the auto-fill feature.

We are told that the default address book thing will be fixed some time in the future. I don't when.

It is helpful to know this. However, up until recently, the default address book was the one I use regularly and not 'All Address Books' . I don't know why it changed but there must be some way to change this.
