I have a laptop and PC, both run Office XP. I want to add all of my contacts
from my PC to my contacts on my laptop. How do I make that happen? Thank
you.
 
I checked out that site, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. My
wife and I shared the PC until I got my laptop. I now have my own contacts
list started on my laptop, and I simply want to add all of the contacts from
my wife's PC onto my laptop without losing the contacts I already have in my
laptop. I don't want to synch the computers, which is what the site talks
about that you gave me. Is there a way to just copy the contacts onto a
flashdisk from the PC and then copy them onto my laptop? Thanks.
 
OK. OK, OK....


At Laptop

1. Click over contacts folder.
2. Main menu -> File -> Import/Export
3. Choose "Export to a file". Click over "Next" button
4. Choose "Personal Folder File"
5. Finish
6. Copy created *.pst file on flashdisk

at your PC

1. Copy *.pst from flashdisk to c:\
2. Open Outlook
3. Main menu -> File -> Open - Outlok Data File
4. Find and choose copied *.pst
5. A new tree "Personal Folders" will be appear in your Outlook
6. Navigate to "Personal Folders" -> Contacts
7. Select all contacts
8. Just drag and drop all selected contacts to your contacts folder.
9. Click over "Personal Folders".
10. Right mouse button -> "Close "Personal Folders""
11. "Personal Folders" will be closed and removed from your Outlook

This is all

Click to expand...

On the source PC, insert the flash disk. Start Outlook. Click
File>New>Outlook Data File. Browse to the flash disk. Give the PST a name.
Click OK. You'll now have another PST in your Folder List containing a
single folder: Deleted Items. Right-click the main Contacts folder and
choose "Copy Contacts". Select the root of the flash-based PST as the
destination. When the copy completes, close the flash PST with
right-click>Close. Close Outlook. Remove the flash disk.

On the destination PC, insert the flash disk. Open Outlook. Click
File>Open>Outlook Data File. Browse to the flash disk, select the PST and
click OK. You'll now see that PST, with the Contacts and Deleted Items
folders it contains, in the Folder List. Open that Contacts. Select the
first contact with a click, then all of them with CTRL-A. Click Edit>Copy
to Folder. Specify your main Contacts folder as the destination. Click OK.
When the copy completes, you'll have added all the contacts from the source
PC. Right-click the flash-based PST and choose Close. Close Outlook.
Remove the flash disk.
 
When I choose "copy" or "move" the root of the flash-based PST destination
does not show up on the list anywhere.

Does it show in the Folder List view of the Nav pane?
