I'm stuck. The problem I have is that I maintain my home address
book as a spreadsheet in calc; my mobile phone software can copy
information to the phone's memory from any of outlook
express/outlook/lotus notes - but nothing more accessible like csv
(thanks Nokia :-| ). So windows address book looks like what I'm
stuck with as regards the nokia s/ware.
I've tried various things, and can copy my data to a fresh base file
(which doesn't help, but is a useful learning exercise) - but there
seems no way to load it into WAB using the OOo tools. Drag and drop
won't, and cut-and-paste only affects a single database cell.

Outlook Express can import/export a CSV file so: Calc <-> csv <->
Outlook Express <-> Nokia or have I missed something?
Probably not. I didn't know OE would cope with csv. Which is because
I avoid it like the plague (I find pegasus and thunderbird much
better). But are 3 conversions really needed? Isn't there a quicker
way? I was really hoping for something that could be scripted - this
won't be a one-off transfer (although, I grant, infrequent).
But thanks for the advice - I'll look at OE.
(Apologies for the double posting BTW. Local mail system threw a
wobbly).
You mentioned Outlook Express: " ... my mobile phone software can copy
information to the phone's memory from any of outlook express/outlook/lotus
notes ... " so I naturally assumed ...
To paraphrase Rumsfeld: wobblies happen ;-)
