I have tried to follow the instructions given through outlook and the data
from the table comes through but teh tabs that separate the fields were no recognized. I end up with 4000 contacts instead of 400. Any suggestions? |

Saving Table data in txt format Tab delimited? Can it be done?
I imported my contacts from MS outlook in Tab Delimited format
I used word to open the file and then manipulated the file to fit into the table format. I needed to eliminate some data so all cloums would line up properly. I saved the work and then coverted it back to txt format. I can still see the tab marks but when I try to import with Outlook it does not seem to recognize the tabs?

Are you saying that you exported the data from Outlook, modified it and are
then trying to import it back into Outlook. You should have it as a .csv file for that purpose, or paste it into Excel and then import it into Outlook from there. -- Hope this helps.

Yes Doug, We have about 10 contact folders that I am trying to merge into 1
folder. I am exporting them so I can eliminate duplicates and to make working with contacts easier. We need to keep our notes intact. I would like to do the CSV method but I understand the character limit for excel is 255 per field, and assume my notes will be lost useing this method? When I get it back into Outlook I was planning to use Duplicate Killer to do the merge.

Maybe you should ask about this in an Outlook newsgroup as it is perhaps
more of an Outlook issue than a Word issue. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
