Executive Summary:
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 gives you easy access to contact information, and many people store a lot of information in Outlook because of this easy access to contact information. Learn how to make better use of Outlook contact information by exporting and importing the information to and from other programs such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access.

I use Microsoft Office Outlook nearly every day and have for more than a decade. I store information in Outlook that might be better stored elsewhere, but I like having contact information conveniently accessible. Because Outlook is usually open while I work, information I maintain there is typically easy to retrieve or query.

I also use Microsoft Excel a lot. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 can export contacts in several different formats by going to File, Import and Export , Export to a File . There are options for exporting contacts to comma separated values (.csv) files, tab separated values (.txt), a specified Outlook personal folder file (.pst), as well as Excel and Microsoft Access formats. . . .
