insert the same data into a feild of multiple contacts

[David]

I want to insert into a field the same information
(Manager's name = David) but for several hundred contacts
at a time. I intend to sort our contacts using a certain
catagory and then insert "David" into the Manager's feild
of all of the resulting list.

Hope someone can help?

After applying the filter to only show the contacts you want to add the
manager's name to, you can group by the Manager's Name field, change the
value for one of the items (so that there's at least one item in the "David"
group), then select the rest and drag them to the David group.

That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do.
Any ideas so far?
