How do I import outlook contacts from a txt file?
"Lemonweir" wrote in message ... I saved my Outlook contacts before reformatting. Now I can't figure out how to get them back. They are saced in My Documents as a text file. Help! Why would you even THINK of saving contacts as a "text" file? Why did you not just make a copy of your pst file, as posted here countless thousands of times? Open the text file in a spreadsheet application and save-as a CSV file. Then import that. Please read the following for the CORRECT way to backup and restore Outlook data: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007. The main points to note: 1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with Outlook closed. 2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into (for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File within Outlook. |
