Has anyone imported a word text file into Outlook contacts. I have tried saving as a text file and bringing across using the importing tool which resulted in a contact being produced for each word in the text document. Is there a proper way to do this?

Using the export wizard in Outlook 2003, nothing comes up in the "export from" window. - 4. Outlook sending
I want to delete a message that is sending but won't send because data size exceeds the maximum permitted. I've gone to my outbox and tried to delete the message but nothing happens. I right click on the sending message 1 of 1in the bottom right corner and hit cancel send/delete, nothing happens. In the outlook send/receive progress box, I hit cancel all, nothing happens. I originally created the message a few days ago and everytime I restart the computer it tries to send the message again. I can't seem to cancel the send. Help - 5. Outlook 2007 - Postal codes not displaying
Running Vista Home Edition. Migrated data from another CRM program (Maximizer). The postal codes do not display in the Business Card or Detailed Address views. Have attempted many things to correct this issue. The process was working until I upgraded from the Student/Education Version to the Small Business Version. Any ideas of how I can have the program display Postal Codes? Many thanks, greg

As long as the file is comma or tab delineated with fields clearly marked, import in into Excel then save it as a CSV file. You can then import the CSV file into Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

Thanks - I have done this and now when mapping custom fields each value will only map to one field. Any ideas?

You'd have to provide all the detail of what you did for anyone to figure out what's wrong, including how you identified fields. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] will only map to one field. Any ideas?

Thanks Rus With earlier versions of outlook I have created a csv as you suggested and mapped the values to the outlook contact fields. However with newer versions (2000/2003) it seems that there may be a bug in the mapping function using the Map Custom Fields window. It allows you to take the first value and map it to the name field I then press the next button to reveal the next value and it seems to automatically mapthe new value to the name field and I can't seem to change it to the address field without changing the earlier name field also. I hope that make sense. Any help would be gratefuly received as I am running out of hair.

All that's required is for you to drag and drop the appropriate field names from the left hand side (your field names) to the right hand side (Outlook field names) and then let Outlook perform it's magic importing your file (this is on the assumption that your file contains the field names in the first row of the file). Is there a reason you are reviewing the individual field values during the mapping process?

1.Enforcing Charset for imported Text files into Word
Hi there. Part of a Word app I'm creating in VBA involves reading and parsing a text file to transform the contents into a properly styled Word document. I'm doing this on a DocumentChange event, where I check the save type of the file and check the first few characters for a tag before going on to my transformation code. However, some of the text files contain non-ASCII characters (open and close quotes for examples). The problem with this is that Word then displays a message asking for confirmation of the file type. This message destroys the event handling so execution is halted at that time. I was thinking that if I could MIME encode the text file, I should be able to bypass the conversion dialog and let the text come through as UTF-8 or charset iso-8859-1. Has anyone had an experience doing this, or knows of a way to force the charset when opening a text file?

4.importing contacts via text file
i'm at a loss.... i have a customer who has a list of email addresses that she would like to import into her outlook 2001 contacts. basically, we can get the email addresses to show up as different contacts either by importing a text file (which has E-Mail in the first line followed by one email address per line) or through a CSV file saved in excel (same format). however, if we then try to create a distribution list with these contacts, nothing seems to show up. we click to create a new contact list. we then click on the Address Book button and then choose the contacts in the left column. finally, we click on the Add button and it adds an "e- mail" for each contact (it doesn't list the email address...it just says "E- mail." however, then nothing shows up in the New Distribution List window except for a period. opening each individual contact displays an email address. but, i can't seem to send to these contacts either. i get an error saying something about a transport server error (?). the workaround is to copy and paste the email addresses (separated by semicolons) from word into the box which appears after you click the Address Book button when adding a distribution list. does anyone have any other suggestions for importing these files? thanks! -J
