Searches done in Contacts or Business Contacts ignores field entries that are a result of a drop-down list. I think drop-down lists are an important feature to help eliminate typing errors and inconsistencies (Outlook should have/allow more of them). But if Search ignores any field entry created by a drop-down list, why even allow drop-down lists? What gives? Thanks, Rick - 3. Problem w/Search on Drop-Down List Entires
Anyone know why the search feature in Contacts or Business Contacts ignores field entries that are a result of a drop-down list? Search works fine with field entries that are direct text entries. Thanks, Rick - 4. Adding BCM to Outlook

Your best bet is to convert them from Word into Excel. Is the information stored in Word in some type of table? If you can get the table into Excel with cut-n-paste, then you can map the Excel columns to BCM fields and import it using the BCM wizard. If not in a table, then your only other option is to save them to a text file and then write a program to read the names and addresses form the file and write them to a CSV file, and use the BCM wizard to import the CSV file.

Hi, You can do this in a few seconds with a program called Email Address Collector. First save the contents of the doc as a txt file and then just choose the txt file and the program will extract all the email addresses from that txt file and directly export them to Outlook into one or more contact folders or you can save them as a CSV list.

3.Getting Outlook Contacts fieldnames
I am developing a routine in Word VBA that calls on fields from Outlook Contacts. I have been able to guess the names of most of the fields (simply taking out the spaces from the export names). (So, First Name is "FirstName", Last Name is "LastName", etc.) But I cannot determine what the field name of "Company" is. I cannot guess some of the others either. Where might I find a list of the actual names by which Outlook refers to itself. Ed
