If you want to create an excel spreadsheet to import:

It really depends on what kind of format your current address book is using. There are several ways to do it, some are more time consuming than others.

that's why you should review the second link. If you don't have the addresses in an address book of any sort, your best bet is to use the time inputting to a spreadsheet and just input directly to outlook. then, you can export the addresses for later use. you can export to excel.

If they aren't organized in any fashion other than written in a text file, then looks like you are stuck doing it one at a time.

Do you have them stored in a current address book? If so, what is the extention of the file? .wab is windows address book for example.
