MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Can I add multiple contacts from exel/word to Outlook contacts?
I have 300 names in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to send an individual email message to each. Is there any way to copy multiple contacts into Outlook? Doing this individually will take forever. Any suggestions? Thanks Use File > Import and Export... to see a list of file types Outlook can import. You will see that Excel is among them.

Thanks Russ, why not have the OP do a mail merge and use the Excel spreadsheet as the source? SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

I assumed the user actually wanted to import the Excel sheet so they could use any of the several ways to send to multiple recipients.

Thanks You can use an Excel spreadsheet as a source for addresses using mail merge in Outlook. No need to transfer the addresses to Outlook first. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
