In the Contacts app, is it possible to copy a single contact, so I can simply edit a few fields with a new name?
Example: I create a new contact and enter data for several fields, including company name. If I have another contact at the same company, then they share a lot of data, such as the company name, URL, main phone #, address, etc. It would be more efficient to copy an existing contact, then edit that copy, then to create a new contact from scratch.
Please see this Apple article:
Right know all we can do is guess and we have a bad track record in guessing.
Also, this forum is for obsolete Mac notebook computers made before 2006. Is your computer that old?
Yes you can. You can drag a contact out to the desktop and then drag it back, and then respond to how you want to reimport it, whether you want to update your existing contact or add a new one.
As suggested, get informed about what system you are running.
Go to the computer's upper left hand screen corner and select the Apple logo (whose color may vary by system from the image below), and select the first item, which should say About This Mac or About This computer.
That will tell you what system you have. Knowing that, you can pick the relevant forum from this post:

Note, iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch use iOS system, and it is best to post in the device forum your question.

Verizon has one of the easier to understand directions, though I don't use them as a carrier.
