OE Address Book question...

[shuckthecorn]

I have an address book with about 30 addresses in it. I need to merge an address book from Outlook on another computer plus I have a word doc with addresses I need to merge. So the bottom line is that I have three sources of address' that I want to make one happy address book. Can anyone give me a clue on how this can be done?

On the first part->copy the .wab file from here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

To Outlook. In Outlook do File Import

I'm not sure about Oulook. But for OE and the Word to another address book can be a bit tedious. What you want to use is CSV (Comma Separated Values).

First, in OE > Export > Other Address Book > Text (Comma Seperated Values). Follow the Instructions.

Open the CSV file. This gives you the columns that you need to follow.

Open the Word file. Copy and paste as necessary to get the columns to match up.

If Outlook has a CSV, do the same thing.

You can use the new file to IMPORT to another computer. It could get tedious, depedning on how the columns match up.

Thank you very much, both of you. I will do it tomorrow and post the result.

Worked great and very easy. Your right though, considering the length of the address book it can be time consuming. Thanks!
