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.

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

i created a distribution list using .csv from excel. how ever when i opened
it the fields were not correct. in excel i had fields for first name; last
name and email
when i mapped i used display for last name: however in outlook 2007 i had
fields for name (first name) and email address. how can i get the original
three fields into outlook. if u can help thank you. i look forwards for some
advice.

Open the DL and and choose FIleSave As.

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.

you have to map the last name to the last name field. Try re-importing
them.

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

I have 2100 addresses in an excel spreadsheet and when I tried to save them
as a csv it would only save one page of information. Any suggestions?

What does this have to do with Outlook?
