Is excel mailing list exportable to Outlook Contacts?
I am putting a 3,000 list together, and it will have email addresses as well
as postal. Is there a way I can export the list - or format it - so that it doesnt have to be re-typed for Outlook? |

Absolutely, I've done this many times -- you have to have your
worksheet in a 'table' format with column headers. Highlight the data and name your range, then import from Outlook and choose how your fields should be imported. If you post your data fields, I can assist further.

With Outlook open go to FileImport ExportImport from another program or file"
Follow your nose from there to choose your Excel workbook. I would first save the workbook after giving your 3000 member list a defined name through InsertNameDefine. Outlook likes that.

Thanks JP,
I appreciate your help. I am having trouble with working in a 'table format'. I am not sure what is going wrong? Perhaps I haven't set the spreadsheet up correctly in the first place? I get down to naming the excel file, and don't know how/where to put in the cell range, and it goes no further! My data fields are the following columns which are combination letters/ numbers and are Contact: Premises Name Address....................... Suburg Pcode Tel Email Address Category hope you can continue to help. thanks Leanne On Nov 7, 12:20 pm, JP wrote: Absolutely, I've done this many times -- you have to have your worksheet in a 'table' format with column headers.

I'm having a simlar problem. I've got the table set up, but when I click
"File" in outlook 2007, there isn't an option for "Import/Export" and I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?

Example only.............
You have header names in A1:G1 You have individual names, addresses etc. in single rows from A2:G50 Select A1:G50 and InsertNameDefine. Give it a name and OK then save the workbook. Now open Outlook and try the import. Note: if the worksheet with the data is first in line in your workbook you don't need the defined name.
