Re: ppc 6700 phonebook

Hey guys, after searching off and on a bit, I found a way, no need to install anything, casue Outlook can do it all for you. I'm not sure how well it imports, but it exports with a whole lot of info you don't necessarily need, atleast stuff I don't enter into my contacts.(address, pager, etc.)

To import contacts from a CSV file or from Excel into Outlook:

-Select File | Import and Export... from the menu in Outlook.
-Make sure Import from another program or file is highlighted.
-Click Next >.
-Now make sure Comma Separated Values (Windows) is selected.
-Click Next >.
-Use the Browse ... button the select the desired file.
Typically, choose Do not import duplicate items.
-Click Next >.
-Select the Outlook folder you want to import the contacts to.
This will usually be your Contacts folder.
-Click Next >.
-Click Map Custom Fields ....
Make sure all columns from the CSV file are mapped to the desired Outlook address book fields.
-You can create new mappings by dragging the column title to the desired field.
-Any previous mapping of the same column will be replaced with the new.
-Click OK.
-Now click Finish.

To save your contacts from Outlook to a CSV file:

-Select File | Import and Export... from the menu.
-Make sure Export to a file is highlighted.
-Click Next >.
-Now make sure Comma Separated Values (Windows) is selected.
-Click Next > again.
-Highlight the Contacts folder.
-Click Next >.
-Use the Browse... button to specify a location and file name for the exported contacts.
Something like "Outlook.csv" or "ol-contacts.csv" on your Desktop should work fine.
-Click Next > (once more).
-Now click Finish.
