Why can't you just leave them in Outlook, especially since that is Word's
preferred data source for mail merges? Then you won't have to go through the
data loss that occurs when you export Outlook data.

Russ,

Eventually they need to appear in Word 2003 for producing address labels
using an Avery template, however, I think that might be asking too much,
so I'd like to get them into Excel or Access prior to getting them into
Word.

Regards,

Martin

Clarify to what format you need these Contacts exported.

Hi!

I'm using Outlook 2003 with Windows XP Prof (SP2).

Is there anyway I can export a subset of my contacts?

I have contacts categorised in many ways, and I'd like to export the
names and addresses of my colleagues (Category - Colleagues) and not my
friends and family.
It appears to me that I can only export the whole of my contacts and
then I'd have to mess around in another piece of software (probably
Excel) to delete everyone who is not a colleague. It sounds like a lot
of work

Any thoughts?

Many thanks....

Martin
