MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2005Exporting specific contacts from Outlook
I have my contacts in Categories. Can I export one or more specific cateogries vs. the entrie list of contacts? You can only export a folder, not a Category. So just copy a Category into a temporary subfolder and export that.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have my contacts in Categories.

Thanks Russ - I have established subfolders under CONTACTS, but struggling to how to copy specific categories into the new sub folders. In the process, appears to be copy my entrie contact list - - guess I could go to sub-folder and delete those not needed, but seems like I am missing something.

I have copied just ONE specific category (done twoice - once buy highlighting individual names in category and the other by hihglighting the collaped category header), but each time it is copying ALL contacts over to new subfolder Any other thoughts? > Just select all the members of a Category. > Edit > Copy to Folder...

In trying to do this - I have deleted a category from my contacts folder (my fault and nothing to do with what you have suggested) Any idea on how to retrieve (it is not on the clipboard)? > Keep trying.

Anything you actually deleted should be in your Deleted Items Folder. It's also possible you moved it to the wrong place. Try using Advanced Find to look for one of these Contacts and see if and where it turns up.

Wheee....... you saved the day! Was able to reclaim with some work from the delete list. OK - to move a category of contacts to a separate folder (sub-folder) - 1. highlight those contacts within the category 2. Edit 3.
