another useful feature in outlook 365
that we haven't really touched upon just
yet is how to actually import and export
a variety of outlook items now in this
video we're going to be focusing
primarily on how to import and export
contacts but we'll be using the import
export wizard which is actually included
with outlook and it can actually do much
more than just import or export only
your contacts
so to access the wizard what we have to
do is go to our file menu
and then we have to go to the section
titled open and export
now from here we're going to be focusing
on the specific import and export button
when we click on that we'll be taken
into the import and export wizard and as
you see we have multiple actions that we
can perform here so we can export our
sss rss feeds to an opml file we can
export any outlook information to a file
import a vcard file and this would be
importing a contact
import an icalendar or v calendar file
which would be importing a calendar
import from another programmer file
import your rss feeds from an opm opml
file or import your rss feeds from the
common feed list
so for this i'm going to focus on just
exporting to a file and then importing a
vcard file
so exporting to a file if we click next
there we have two options here we can
make an outlook data file which we
discussed in the previous video which
can be very useful for backing up your
data
but we could also create a comma
separated values or dot csv file so
that's what we're going to do right now
and then we're actually going to go down
and we're going to try and find let's
see if we can find any of our contacts
lists
up at the top see a few we're just going
to click on that so this will actually
save our contacts list as a csv file
that another individual could open now
they could see the information included
in our contacts list but they would not
be able to manipulate that information
and then pull it in very easily into
outlook
so it's possible to import a
file into outlook a csv file but it's
not possible to import that as a contact
card if that makes sense now i'm going
to go further into that when i actually
show you how to import a contact card
because they are different files
so what i just want you to take away
from this right now is that a dot csv
file differs greatly from a dot v card
file
so if we exit out of this and we go back
to our wizard go back to open and export
import and export
and then go to import a vcard file so
this is a contact card file used in
outlook
if we go to next it's going to ask us to
select that file and you'll see we're
only looking for vcard files here so
even if we made a dot csv file in this
template section it would not be visible
to us because we're only looking for
those vcard files so while you could
have an entire contact list in that dot
csv file which is an excel file by the
way you could have an entire contact
list in that file but you wouldn't be
able to import it as a contact card into
outlook just because you're not in that
same format what you can do though with
that.csv file is then go into your own
outlook and start to populate your
contacts list using the information
that's provided in the file
so just remember if you have a vcard
file that may have been sent to you by
another individual you can easily import
that contact to your contact list but if
you've exported your contact list or
you've been given another person's
contact list in that csv file you're
going to have to do a little bit more
manual work in order to update your
contact list
