Computer Question

Brian,

With exporting/importing my Yahoo contacts, I had to go to Yahoo first to generate a file on my desktop that could then be imported. Then the option was given in Outlook for importing a file to transfer the contacts. Maybe you need to find the way to generate the file first.

Sorry, not sure what else to suggest.

Easy Brian.
Do an auto backup of the address book and copy it to the other computer.
It automatically does it's own formatting if any is required.

Anyhow it's that easy on a Mac.

If you are using WIndows, Outlook has an export function under File/Export which will compress all your contacts, calendar and whatever into a database. Save to a file in My Documents, copy across to new PC, then use the Import function on your new PC to load back in.

You need to export it as a Personal Folder File - .PST

Using office 2003 -
File - export to a file - Next
Comma sepparted values (windows)
Make sure the folder contacts is highlighted and choose "Next"
Browse and choos where you want to save the file ( if you want to tranfere it to another computer a memory stick would be a good location. Name your file and "OK".
Choose next and finished.
To import the file -
File - import - import from another file
choose Comma separted value ( windows ) - Next
Browse to find the file and choose whether or not to import duplicates - Next
make sure contacts folder is highlighted and Next and finished.

Cheers Neil
