If so, you need to state precisely what you did, what happened, and what you see in Outlook. Are we to assume that you have a valid, functioning Outlook profile that is set as your default mail program and Contacts manager? You must if you want to use these Contacts in Word.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> > need >> > to learn how to export the addresses correctly Yes, that's what I did. From word perfect I went to envelopes, addresses, file, export. It said export to outlook 97/98/2000 XP. Export from CorielCenteral (addresses), export to Personal folders, Contacts. Then it said to match address book fields to export fields and add. I did that but the addresses are incomplete. I tried it again and again and endeded up with the names in the contact field listed 3 times. some of the names had numbers and some had addresses, I have a mess so I want to delete the list I exported to CONTACTS and start over. > Explain more clearly what you did and where Outlook fits into this picture. > >I exported the addresses from word perfect to MS word, I screwed it all up > > and need to delete the contacts in MS word (envelopes & labels).

Open your Contacts folder, press CTRL-A to select all your Contacts, and press Delete to delete them all. You'll have an empty Contacts folder then. SignatureBrian Tillman My problem is I don't know how to get to the contacts folder. Please give me detailed instructions on how to get and open the contacts folder. I guess you've figured out by now that I'm a dummy. > > Yes, that's what I did. From word perfect I went to envelopes, > > addresses, file, export. It said export to outlook 97/98/2000 XP.

Did you already have Outlook configured with an active profile before you did this export? If so, what version? Can't you just open Outlook? You can't miss the Contacts Folder when you do. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > My problem is I don't know how to get to the contacts folder. Please give > me [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> have >> an empty Contacts folder then. I have outlook express 6.0 No I did not configure a profile before I exported. When I go to Outlook Express, all I see is my mail related files, I don't see a contact folder. I'm about to give up on this. > Did you already have Outlook configured with an active profile before you > did this export? If so, what version? [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >> have > >> an empty Contacts folder then. Could you please start at the beginning with an accurate description of what you did? You still haven't posed a valid question for us. Outlook Express has nothing to do with Outlook. We know nothing about Corel, but I doubt Corel would export to Outlook Express since it also uses MAPI, which OE does not support. It said it was exporting to Outlook, right? If so, then you must have Outlook running somewhere. If you don't know that much, then I don't see how we can help you.
