Exporting from contacts in Outlook

[Julia]

Is it possible to export a portion of my contacts (such as a distribution
list) without having to export the entire contacts file? How?

A complete answer will require knowing how you will use the exported
information; i.e., what will be used to import the results.

Thanks for responding, Brian.

I am setting up an e-newsletter list. I want to be able to export about
one-third of my contacts to a .csv file that I can upload to my newsletter
service.

Ideas? Thanks--Julia

I am setting up an e-newsletter list. I want to be able to export
about one-third of my contacts to a .csv file that I can upload to my
newsletter service.

In that case, I'd create a new Contacts folder, naming it, "E-new List" or
some such and copy to it those contacts I wanted to export, then export that
folder.

Thanks, Brian. I've reached the same conclusion! Now to figure out copying
the contacts without removing them from the original 'contacts' list! Thanks
for your speedy responses today. --Julia

Select the contacts (with CTRL-click), right-click the selection and choose
Copy. Specify the other folder as the destination.

Fabulous. Many thanks. --Julia
