MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006how do I take a distribution list and make individual contacts
I have some large distribution lists - I'd now like to create individual contact 'cards' for each of these people - is there a fast way to do it without having to cut and paste each one individually? > I have some large distribution lists - I'd now like to create > individual contact 'cards' for each of these people - is there a fast > way to do it without having to cut and paste each one individually? You could save the DL as a text file (it's tab-delimited), open it in Excel, save it as a .csv, then import it into Outlook.  SignatureBrian Tillman Or skip Excel: Open it in Notepad, delete the info at the top so all you have is the list of names, then import as a tab-delimited text file.

Thanks - bearing in mind I am fairly new to Microsoft - I have saved as a .csv and then tried importing but when I browse the files it doesn't show any .csv files to choose from - help > > I have some large distribution lists - I'd now like to create > > individual contact 'cards' for each of these people - is there a fast > > way to do it without having to cut and paste each one individually? > > You could save the DL as a text file (it's tab-delimited), open it in Excel, > save it as a .csv, then import it into Outlook. > Thanks - bearing in mind I am fairly new to Microsoft - I have saved > as a .csv and then tried importing but when I browse the files it > doesn't show any .csv files to choose from - help Since you get to choose where the CSV gets created, where did you tell it to do so?
