Default How do I combine duplicate contacts in Outlook?

Thank you. It's always good to know that for only two or three or four
hundred dollars and I can purchase another program to get a Microsoft Program
to do what I think it should be able to do to start with. The only viable
option I see is to combine the information one contact at a time by typing
all the information into one contact, saving it and deleting the other.
That's just not worth the time or energy needed.

I imported an address book from another program into Outlook 2003.
After several tries where the program could not run, I selected do
not check for duplicates. Of course, I now have duplicates but not
all the information is available in both contact/address cards. Is
there a way to combine the two contact entries into one entry/address
card? Or do I have to manually input the information from one into
the other and then delete one contact by contact?


Outlook does not have that ability. There may be contact tools that can
help. See if something here helps:
