Hi Alan,

>i have a massive list of email addresses in front of me that some gave me -
hard copy.
is there a quick and easy way to turn this into and address book for outlook
express or eudora?

I know that i'm going to have to type it all up, but can i get around doing
all the individual address book entries.

yours in search of this and other headache remedies<

Outlook Express v5:

File->Import->Other Address Book

allows you to import a text file of comma separated values (you can create
such a file in notepad or any other plain text editor),

in order to see the format the names and addresses need to be in

choose

File->Export->Address Book->Text File

to export your current address book as a text file and see the format of the
entries


This is your quickest way as you can just create the address book in notepad
without using outlook express at all then just import it. I assume your hard
copy is handwritten otherwise you can just scan it with good OCR software
and get the whole job done in a morning saving the afternoon for a nap and a
cold brew ;)

cheers,

Sol.
