Is there a simple way to transfer an excel file which has two
columns ,one for names the other for phone numbers, into my outlook
address book? I have a excel file with over a hundred such entries
and would rather not enter them individually, surly there is a simple
way to do this. Any suggestions?

Into the Outlook Address Book? No, since Outlook doesn't keep any
information there. Into a Contacts folder? Sure. File>Import and
Export>Import from another program or file. Make sure the columns are named
exactly as Outlook expects them to be named and make sure you name the range
as well if it's an XLS file and not a CSV file. The import will create new
contacts, however, and won't augment existing contacts.
