Cleaning custom fields from Outlook 2003

[maxnews]

I installed Goldmine some time ago.

When it uninstalled I now print contacts and they have goldmine fields
with garbage text next to them.

I want to know how to remove the fields and get my contacts back to the
default with all the extras stripped out.

Thanks

Probably the easiest direct method is to export the contacts to Excel -- which will ignore any custom fields -- then import them back into Outlook as new items. If you import them into a separate contacts folder, you can review them before deleting the originals and moving the new imported items into your main Contacts folder.
