Is there an easy way to convert a contact an account?

I just stated configuring CRM 1.2. I imported my contacts from outlook. Many
of the Outlook contacts are actually the information I want for an account
including the company name, address, main phone number, corporate website
and email address.

I have been manually creating an account record, and cutting and pasting the
address and other information from the most complete contact for the
company. This seems to be something that I should be able to do by just
pushing a button, or running an import?

If you import them as leads, then you can convert them to accounts.
