Gord,
Thank you for responding. The spreadsheet is laid out as follows: first
name, last name, street address, city, state, zip, phone, cell phone, email
address. Will there be a problem with this layout? Remember she is not very
adept at computers! Thanks,

Barb

With Outlook open, one of the options under FileImport or ExportImport from

You will have to make sure the data is laid out properly for her to make the
import to Contacts successful.

In order to import addresses to outlook contacts from an excel spreadsheet
does it have to be saved in a .csv file? Wont an .xls work? I am just
wondering since I am trying to explain how to do this to a client. I have
prepared a spreadsheet of all our her contacts and she wants me to send this
to her so she can import them to her outlook contacts. She is not very
computer literate and I need some instructions to send to her and I also need
to know the best way to save the file. Thanks.
