How do you export contacts into a file in which you can actually r
I have approx. 2,500 contacts in outlook and would like to have a hard copy
of them in case of a computer failure. How do I export them to a PDF or word file and be able to read everything that was entered for that contact? I tried to export them to a excel file but that clearly doesn't work and/or look nice at all. Headings and titles are all jacked up. Hoping to try and do this for my calendar also... Anyone have any ideas???? Thanks

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 ... I have approx. 2,500 contacts in outlook and would like to have a hard copy of them in case of a computer failure.

If you do a mail merge though I don't think you can print off all the stuff
within your contacts. For example I have lots of various notes written about a certain contact in the information area.

How do you export contacts into a file in which you can actual
Obviously. A printout is a very poor choice for backing up data.
You asked. I answered. Why you would need to print out notes eludes me since you have to type everything back in anyway if you use a printout to "back up" data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chris" wrote in message ...

And you can include those notes as one of the fields in a merge.
