Default Exporting Contacts to Winfax

I am trying to export specific contacts to Winfax. I have most of my
contacts designated into categories. I want to export only a specific
category into Winfax. When I tried this, I went to the specific category
that I wanted to export and highlighted them. Then I clicked File, export,
etc and exported the contacts as a dBase file to my desktop. I then went to
Winfax and Impored the file from the desktop into Winfax. What I got was all
4,646 of my outlook files into the Winfax phonebook.

How do I export only the specific category of contacts to a file on my
desktop?

I asked this question yesterday, but I can't find the post now.

Odd. We had and entire thread on this, and I can't find it either.

Here's the repost:
File New Folder...

Then use the "By Category" view of your Contacts Folder, select the members
of a Category Edit Copy to Folder...

How do you create a separate Contacts Folder in Outlook? I know its
probably
simple, but I do not relate to this at the moment. Then be sure to
extrapolate on how to export this folder. Thanks.

You can only export a folder, not a category.
So create a Contacts Folder, copy the members of a category into it and
export it.
