Exporting Outlook contacts
Hi all,
Is it possible to export the contents of an Outlook 2k3 contacts folder to a CSV or excel file? I've been trying but can only seem to export the headings, not the actual address and name data etc. I have around 100 contacts that I need to export in this fashion, 90 or so of which are personal distribution lists. Is there a way to export them all in a oner to an excel or csv file? Thanks.

Exporting Outlook contacts
You can certainly export Contacts just by using the Export Wizard.
DL's do not survive exporting--one of the many reasons they are such a poor choice for grouping Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Andrew Story" andrewDOTstoryATjameswalkerDOTbiz wrote in message ...

Exporting Outlook contacts
Russ-
Did you ever figure out how to export your contacts to another file? I am hoping to figure out how to export to a word file or pdf file so i can print them out and always have a backup copy. Exporting them to excel doesn't work very well..i lose a lot of the information I entered into the actual contact. Chris "Andrew Story" wrote: Quick response, much appreciated.

Exporting Outlook contacts
The best way to backup your data is simply to make a copy of your PST file.
If for some reason you want to create a printout of your data, then File Import and Export Export to a file will return the file type to which you can export. Most users who want to create a printout of their Contacts will use a mail merge to Word to do so. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chris" wrote in message ...
