MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Importing a CSV file
Hi, I just got a Windows Vista system and have followed the steps to txfr my contacts from Yahoo Mail to Outlook. However, at the last step, importing the file, I have run into a roadblock. The Import/Export option under File is grayed out. I can't select it. Any idea what I might have done wrong? Something in the setup where I clicked something that deactivated the import/export option? Any help would be much appreciated. Did you install Outlook's Importers and Exporters from the Office CD?

Hi Russ, Thanks for the response. No, I didn't install Outlook's Importers and Exporters from the Office CD. I had assumed that everything I needed was already pre-installed on the PC. I'll search for the CD and give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion! > Did you install Outlook's Importers and Exporters from the Office CD? > > Hi, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > clicked something that deactivated the import/export option? > > Any help would be much appreciated. I put in my Office 2007 CD and clicked on each icon, including the Outlook icon. Under the Outlook icon, four icons came up: "OutlkLR," "OutlookMUI" and two text files, "OutlookMUI" and "setup." I don't see anything like Import and Export. If you can provide me any more guidance on where that file might be, I'd really appreciate it. > Did you install Outlook's Importers and Exporters from the Office CD? > > Hi, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > clicked something that deactivated the import/export option? > > Any help would be much appreciated. State what you did more clearly. That doesn't sound anything at all like the Office Maintenance Wizard.

Sure. First of all, my Windows-Vista PC came pre-loaded with Office 2007, so I didn't do any installing on my own, just typing in the Microsoft codes to get started. After reading your first email, I inserted my Office 2007 CD and searched for Outlook's Importers and Exporters, but as I mentioned below, didn't see anything close to that. I also tried doing some internet searches, but found nothing helpful there. In your recent email, you mentioned an "Office Maintenance Wizard." I went through the Outlook menus, but don't see any wizards. Also, I did more internet searching, but didn't see anything. By the way, except for the fact that I can't import my contacts, Outlook is working well. I can send and receive mail. Just can't seem to find a way to activate that import/export option under "File." > State what you did more clearly. That doesn't sound anything at all like the > Office Maintenance Wizard.

If the Office CD does not auto run the Maintenance Wizard, just run it yourself from Control Panel. That's the only way you can find and install Office features.

In Add or Remove Programs, select "Microsoft Office" and click Change. You should get an option to add or remove features. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
