MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2006Exporting Contacts - Outlook 2003
Hi! I'm using Outlook 2003 with Windows XP Prof (SP2). Is there anyway I can export a subset of my contacts? I have contacts categorised in many ways, and I'd like to export the names and addresses of my colleagues (Category - Colleagues) and not my friends and family. It appears to me that I can only export the whole of my contacts and then I'd have to mess around in another piece of software (probably Excel) to delete everyone who is not a colleague. It sounds like a lot of work Any thoughts? Many thanks.... Martin Clarify to what format you need these Contacts exported.

Then you won't have to go through the data loss that occurs when you export Outlook data.

I may have to pursue this avenue.... but the person who will be creating the labels, does not have access to my Outlook folders.

Note: at no point should you export and import.
