How do I export my contact file into Outlook
the easiest thing to do is to highlight one of the existing contacts &
export it into an excel file. if you don't have one already, just make up one & it's best to put things into where you want them to end up in Outlook when you get your data in. So, for example, if they're all business contacts, put some dummy data in the business address, but don't put it into the residential address. then open up the excel, open up the file & see how it's arranged. Then take the data from your word file & cut & paste it into Excel. And then save it, get out of Excel, and Import that file into Outlook. SOMETIMES... Outlook has a problem importing Excel files. If that's the case, go back into Excel and save the file as a .csv file (Comma Delimited). Then Import THAT file into Outlook. But it's really easy & won't take very long at all. -JJ "kelly" wrote in message ...
