Open your contacts there, then click the Export link at the bottom. Select the "Outlook's CSV format" radio button and click Export. Save the csv, then import htat into Outlook. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I cannot transfer my gmail contacts to outlook
Thnks Brian Tilman but it didn't work...
I don't know if having the windows vista is a problem (I understand it is still imature) but anyway, what happens is: I do the "export", "save" and then "import" it to outlook but the extension is wrong (that's what it says - there is no document with the .vcs or .ics termination). Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this? Thnks very much! -- ___ VIRar o olhO ao contRÁrIo o_O "Brian Tillman" escreveu: Nena wrote: Is it possible to transfer the contacts from my gmail account to outlook? How can I do it?

Are you trying to import into Windows Contacts or Outlook? Windows Contacts expects the VCS file. Outlook expects a CSV file. Choose the middle radio button for Outlook. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

True, but I guess if you were looking to import into Outlook specifically, you would export in Outlook csv format...or is that being too logical?

I cannot transfer my gmail contacts to outlook
Thank you both
 I did everything you said - I had already done it all before posting the second time - and it's still the same. It says that there are no documents with the necessary termination to copy from. I can't understand why. I understand your suggestions, they are logical and I have experienced them before posting here...but it doesn't copy the contacts anyway. Have you got any idea why? Because for me it's not logical...and as I've said before, it's the first time I'm trying to work with outlook. Thnks again. -- ___ VIRar o olhO ao contRÁrIo o_O "Brian Tillman" escreveu: Nena wrote: Thnks Brian Tilman but it didn't work... It did for me.
