How do I import my MSN messenger contacts into Microsoft Outlook?

Question

It is possible to add all of MSN Messenger contacts into Microsoft Outlook. If so, how can I perform this action

Answer 1

First, you have to open your MSN contacts and save a copy of the file as a CSV file. This is a comma separated value file and can be imported and exported into almost any program you can think of.

In Outlook, create a folder to receive the imports.
-sel a folder to highlight (contacts), cl File, cl New Folder, follow prompts.
-In Excel, select and name the range of fields to be imported.
(To do this, select your headings and data only, cl in “name of cell” box, name the range, “enter.”)

-cl the folder you created
-cl File
-cl Import/Export
-cl from another program or file
-cl in this case, cl Excel
-cl Browse, go to the file from which you want to import (name full path) - stop
[you will see a dialog box advising you it will import the range you named]
-cl Map Custom Fields
[see your fields on the left, Outlook’s on the right]
-cl the + signs to display additional fields
-cl and drag your fields from the left, to the matching named field on the right.
-cl o.k.
-The records will read in.
