Import Contacts to Public Contact List

I hate to post something when I know I've seen it before, but I cant' find
it, so here it goes:

I'm trying to create a contact list in the Public Folders which will contain
a few hundred contacts. Thanks to Super Gumby, I now know how to create the
list, but I already have the list in a tab delimited file, and wanted to
imprort all the addresses at once, instead of adding each individually. Any
way to do this?

Thanks,

Dave

You just import the data using Outlook File/ Import and Export. Here's a
couple of tricks: you probably can't import directly into a public folder.
You'll have to create a new contacts folder in your personal mailbox, import
the contacts into that, then drag-and-drop them into the public folder using
Outlook's Folder List. If Outlook won't let you import a tab-delimited
file, you can probably convert it to a CSV file using Excel.

If you create an empty folder for this purpose, you can experiment without
any risk. If you run into any issues, post back.

In Outlook...

Make sure the target file to import has a .txt extension in its name.

File | Import and Export | Import from another program or file | Tab
Separated Values (DOS or Windows) | Select the file | Select the folder to
import into | etc., etc.
