exporting MS OLXP contacts to Entourage 2004

[ewa]

Guys,

I just fell in love with my new iBook - got myself Office 2004 (Student &
Teacher edition) and am trying to export my huge and detailed contact list
into Entourage... but all I get are the names... no email addresses, no
phones, nothing else... tried using the txt format, tried the CSV... nothing
works... any clues on what else I could do, besides manually re-entering the
whole 1000+ addresses?

Thx

Importing from WHERE? Which application? We try to help, but we're not mind
readers... Where does this "contact list" live? What do you mean by a
"list"? If it's just a text file, how is it formatted?

Ehm... the name of the app was in the subject line... Microsoft Outlook
XP.... thanks for looking into this. Outlook stores the addresses in the
Contacts folder, and the contents of it can be exported into different
formats like *.CSV, *.txt, MS Access, *.pst files and more...

Try using Paul Berkowitz's "Export-Import Entourage" script package to
import contacts from Microsoft Outlook into Entourage. It includes a
detailed Read Me that describes the full procedure.
