I know that using the Skype software I can export my phone numbers from
Outlook but can I store and export my "skype names" in Outlook? For example
there is an IM Address section in Outlook but can this be used with Skype or
is it only for MSN Instant Messenger?

Thanks in advance,

There's the question what you want to do with the skype names in Outlook.
If you just want to store them you can of course use the IM-field (the
online-status is of course only shown with MSN/WLM-addresses).

Another possibility is to use User-defined fields.
In Outlook 2007 you reach them in a contact under "Show"-"All Fields".
There you can create new fields (in your case choose "User-defined fields in
folder") for all of your contacts, e.g. a "Skype"-field.

Thanks Roman, so it sounds like there is no "compatabilty" between Outlook
and Skype, only with MSN Internet Messenger.
Thanks for your help.
