User Created Contact Fields do not export to Excel

[Scott Doty]

Can anyone help me learn if it is at all possible to export user defined contact fields to Excel. I have created a few fields in a contacts folder for a roster of a sports organization. For example one field is Team. It appears in my contact "card" for each member in the All Fields tab, Select from "User-defined field in this item". But when I export to Excel file the field Team doesn't transfer.

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields. Quick and dirty method:

1. Put all the items from your form in one folder.
2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to export
to Excel.
3. Choose Edit | Select All.
4. Choose Edit | Copy.
5. Paste to Excel.

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application.
