Ok Is there any way to add multiple email addys into your contacts without doing them one at a time?

I have search help but no luck.

TIA!!

Not that I know of. You can put them in groups (fellow lawyers, perps) but still have to enter one at a time from what I know.

Need to get an answer from one of the c-nerds (TG, Waves).

If you have them somewhere else (another computer), you should be able to import them into Outlook though.

you can export them as a file, put them on a disc or flash drive, and then import them into your other computer.

should be pretty simple

I don''t use Outlook but I just took a quick peek at it.

It looks like you can export your info to a .pst file (File>Import & Export>Export to a file> pst file, etc)

Save this file and put it on a disc or memory stick......stick it in your other computer and import it.

But I have no contacts to export. All my addys are in the memory in the pull down menu of TO: in each new email.

I am try to get all of these email addys and turn them into contacts.

Not quite sure how Outlook manages contacts, but if you can access addresses by clicking on "TO:", then I''d say that they are already in you contacts in some way or another.

If they are auto filling in the "To" field, they should be in the address book.

Export the address book and load it on the other system.

Well they are not in contacts,obviously there is a file somewhere. I have access to the email addy''s this is no problem.

I just can''t figure out how to make them contacts on the same computer without adding them one by one.

Seems like you should be able to highlight all of them and add as contacts.I have not found a way to do this.

I don''t have outlook loaded here, so I can''t give you specifics, but check the help file for "export address book".

Or search your hard disk for a *.WAB file.

Hmmmm.......don''t know.

When I used Outlook, I was unhappy with the way it managed contacts.

I prefer the scaled down Outlook Express.

My address book is empty as well. No .wab files on disk

it is Office 2007.

Yawn.....I know it store these files because I have moved them before,just never tried to make them contacts.

I have made contacts before and yes it is easy one at a time.

To do 400, not so easy. Seems silly or I am stupid.

I have exported before and it transfered all of the Outlook files just fine. All I want to do is add 400 addys to contacts. LOL

Perhaps you can export your information and then let Outlook Express pick it up.

Maybe OE will find those addresses (they ARE stored somewhere).

Then you can reverse the process; or just continue to use OE, which is much easier IMHO.

The trouble will be finding a format that both can digest......I have had difficulty with this in the past but eventually figured something out.

Just taking a shot in the dark.

OE might be found at

C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn

Rox,

I just messed around with my Outlook a bit. I did find that you can right click on the email address you want to add to contacts and there is a choice for that. That will save you some typing anyway. I don''t know how much info it will actually carry over. You will have to just try one and then look in your contacts and see what it took over.

I actually know how to do this. Email me tomorrow and I will send you a file that lets you view and edit the addys that drop down when you type in the ''to'' box.

Im on my phone right now or I would send it to you.
