How to export all my contacts (or the > subset that I wish to transfer) all at once? It's all in the ReadMe for the scripts. In Outlook you go to your Contacts Folder, then File / Export & Import / Export� / Comma Separated Values (Windows). [For my scripts, at any rate. They convert all the Windows stuff to Mac and match Outlook fields to Entourage's, etc.] To export a subset, make a subfolder in the Contacts Folder (call it Export Contacts) and drag just those contacts you ant to export from the main Contacts Folder. Export from the subfolder, then you can drag the contacts back to the main folder again. To use with my scripts, click "Default Mapping" in the Export Wizard when you see that button. If you export as Text or some other way, there's not a lot you can do with the files produced without all sots of conversion processes. They won't import into Entourage as is, because Outlook uses real line-endings (for example in Address and Notes) and that would mess up the Import process terribly if you try it directly from Entourage's File / Import menu item. Whenever Entourage see a new line it will think the next bit is a new contact, but it isn't. You'd have some pretty awful messes to try to clean up afterwards. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
