I have done a search for contacts in our corporate address book for
the people in my local depot - returns about 70.

I now want to export/save this find to an XLS/CSV for ease of use...

I can't find how to do this anywhere, anyone able to help me or is it
just something that Outlook is not designed to do...?!

If you by "corporate address book" actually mean the Global Address List,
then no, as this list is maintained on the server. If you think it would be
handy to have ready made department lists available there as well, you
should talk with your corporate mail admin.

Another way to go would be to add them to your own Contacts folder for easy
access. This would break the link with the server information though so if
any details for those persons were to change, you'll have to update it
manually. Also, new persons for that department will have to be added
manually to your Contacts folder and people leaving are not automatically
removed either.

Many thanks, that's precisely the conclusions we've come to in the
end...
It's really for an easy reference so that we don't have to search
through the full address book for the end part of the phone number
which is common to our exchange... amongst other things
