Is there a way to bulk edit a list of contacts for a specific company? e.g.,
if Company ABC is acquired by XYZ and I've got 100 contacts in ABC Company, I
will need to change the Company name from ABC to XYZ and email addresses from
@ABC.com to @XYZ.com.

Thanks,

Thanks. I got the company piece figured out from this link that you posted
from another question. Is there a way to do the email piece?

Russ - I do not get any additional options when I right click on the
collapsed group. Changing the company name worked great. Do you know how I
can export just one company group to excel, make the change and import back?
I can get my entire contact list to export - but not one company.

Thanks,

You can't filter an export by category.
You'd have to move them to a separate subfolder to export only a subset of
your Contacts.
