Word has no address book of its own. So you cannot export to Word. You can
only export to Outlook. Is that what you did? If so, you need to state
precisely what you did, what happened, and what you see in Outlook. Are we
to assume that you have a valid, functioning Outlook profile that is set as
your default mail program and Contacts manager? You must if you want to use
these Contacts in Word.

Yes, that's what I did. From word perfect I went to envelopes, addresses,
file, export. It said export to outlook 97/98/2000 XP. Export from
CorielCenteral (addresses), export to Personal folders, Contacts. Then it
said to match address book fields to export fields and add. I did that but
the addresses are incomplete. I tried it again and again and endeded up with
the names in the contact field listed 3 times. some of the names had numbers
and some had addresses, I have a mess so I want to delete the list I exported
to CONTACTS and start over.

Start by answering the rest of my questions. Explain why you think this is
an Outlook issue when you are exporting from Corel.

I didn't say it was an outlook issue, I said I exported from Coriel to
outlook and want to know how to delete the addresses from "CONTACTS" in
outlook, the place I exported to.

Starting over is quite easy. Open your Contacts folder, press CTRL-A to
select all your Contacts, and press Delete to delete them all. You'll have
an empty Contacts folder then.

My problem is I don't know how to get to the contacts folder. Please give me
detailed instructions on how to get and open the contacts folder. I guess
you've figured out by now that I'm a dummy.
