Create distribution list in Outlook from Excel spreadsheet?
"Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "hsvgal" wrote in message ... I just copied the list of email addressess from my excel spreadsheet, and followed your steps above. However, I did not have any colons, semi-colons or coma separators. If you have name/address pairs, one pair per row, it will also work. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Unfortunately, I only had the email addresses, but for my purposes, it worked out fine. The email address showed up both the Name and Email fields. Thanks, hsvgal |

Re (2) & (3): Any chance of answers to these? 2) Can I import address/contact data from Excel (or CSV file) into a separately-named Outlook address/contacts folder rather than to the general Contacts folder? Yes. If so, how? Outlook doesn't seem to allow selecting a particular destination contacts folder for imported data. FileImport and ExportImport from another program or fileComma Separated Value (Windows)Next. Browse to the CSV, select it, click OK, select the duplicate handling you want, and click OK. Select the folder into which you want to import it and click Finish. Works for me. 3) Considering that Outlook does allow opening a .pst file with address/contacts data into a separately named contacts folder, can the current Excel file be converted into a .pst file either directly or via an intermediate CSV file? If so, how? You cannot convert a CSV file or a spreadsheet into a PST. You must import into Outlook. -- Brian Tillman |

you have to map the last name to the last name field. Try re-importing
them. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Create distribution list in Outlook from Excel spreadsheet?
"Bruce" wrote: I have about 70 email addresses (non-profit assoc. members) in an Access database that, if needed, I can convert to an Excel spreadsheet. What I want to do is generate a distribution list in Outlook without having to start from scratch and select each name in the Address Book. Can this be done? Thanks |
