I have access to my boss's contacts as "other contact" and am having a hard
time importing these contacts into a Word document. I can do this no problem
with my own contacts, but my boss's contacts does not appear as an option to
import from, when try to import from Word, or even export from Contacts
(Outlook) into an Excel sheet.

My boss has me as an owner level as far as authorization to the access.

What can I do?

By what method are you trying to "Import" these Contacts in Word?
Have you enabled your boss' Contacts Folder as an email address book in your
Outlook profile?

Is your boss's account, by chance, a "Delegate" Exchange account? If so, it
is not accessible via the Outlook import/export wizard. Only your own
primary Exchange account info is accessible.

Your options:

Option #1
#1 - Create a PST file (if you are already not using one)
#2 - Create a new contacts folder
#3 - Copy your bosses contacts to the new contact folder
*** proceed normally from this point on with whatever you want to do either
by using the contact folder in a merge or export to a CSV file)

or use a 3rd party utility that will export the contacts

Option #2
CodeTwo Outlook Export (free - not associated with us. Program works as
advertised)

Option #3 (not free - for more advanced requirements)
ContactGenie Exporter (Basic/Adv/Premium)
