Eliminating quotes around info in every contact field

K

kahandler

When I converted all of my Outlook (XP) contacts to entourage contacts,
every piece of data showed up with quotes around it in Entourage. I
manually fixed each one.

However, all new contacts that are automatically created by Entourage
(e.g. email addresses from emails I receive) or contacts that I enter
manually (without quotes), show up later with quotes around the data.
As you would imagine, this is driving me crazy! Any ideas?

Delete them all. This is a result of using Windows CSV files.

Get my ""Export-Import Entourage X" scripts from

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

and follow the instructions in the Installation and Outlook sections of the
ReadMe. You'll get contacts that have no quotes, maintain their categories,
get all the "special" characters (accents, etc.) correct, and restore
carriage returns in the notes.
